Guys, these mirrors were installed by the PO and I'm trying to figure out what they are as I need to replace one of them. Molded into the head is FAR-L E13 005016 with the E13 in a circle. Can anyone help ID?

FAR is the name of the company. They're an Italian company and I believe they made the OE Buell mirrors? Someone here would know for sure. But you could probably go though their catalog and find the ones you have. |

Yup. similar to these: https://moto-science.com/collections/buell-origina l-mirrors/products/buell-1125r-firebolt-led-mirror s-wducati-low-angle-706869-pair You'll be buying a pair, unless you find a single on e-bay or something. |

Thanks much Shoggin. I couldn't find it on FAR's website but I emailed both FAR and moto-science to see if I can still get them. I really like these mirrors and I wouldn't mind buying a pair if I have to. They really are OEM quality. |

Guys, FAR confirmed these are FAR mirrors but they cannot identify them, meaning they cannot supply replacements. So I would like some suggestions as to other mirrors that you guys are using and like, i.e. fit well, work well, etc. and fit the bike without butchering the fairing. Thanks for any help. |

I replaced my mirrors with Buell Firebolt Long-stem(late-model) mirrors. There are no blinkers in those mirrors. I put my blinkers in the headlight markers up front. |

I've heard of others using the Firebolt mirrors w/ good reviews. firebolt mirror it does require some electrical configuring for the turn signals. since i'm lazy, i'd probably just buy the originals. originals not sure i'd go for these tho - kinda high-priced. but new at least |

I like the extended Firebolt mirror. I also like the similar 1190 mirror, available fairly inexpensive on eBay. Not sure I want to change the turn signals quite yet. I am surprised at how few decent aftermarket options there are. Basically none that I can identify yet. I ordered a pair of the generic $50 aftermarket ones and they are cheap trash. Sent them back. The originals would be my last choice, I don't particularly like the shape or looks and they are very expensive. |
