As to how a pair of 1125R mirrors would look on a Firebolt ? |

There's a couple threads going on just this subject and some photoshopping of the concept too. Check em out... and yep - looks cool but would be a little work. Mounts would bolt right up though. |

Since I had the mirrors off of both bikes for a track weekend, I did the swap and took some photos. You have to drill a hole between the mounting stud holes for the turn signal wiring to pass thru. The electrical connectors have one male & one female bullet connector. Since the turn signals are LED's the polarity matters. Making up a short adapter ( Gender changer ) for one of the leads should be pretty easy. The wires look long enough to connect to the existing Firebolt wiring harness.

But, I'm the first to have actually bolted a set on... |

Great shots. Do you think they are any wider than the "r" mirrors? Do they vibrate more or less? Thanks Neil S. |

The mirrors are on the 1125R now, but I didn't put a tape measure or even start the engine in the Firebolt, so I don't have answers fro you. I sat on it and the mirror looks to give less of your elbows that the stock '06 mirrors. |

I'm betting this will become standard. Sure cleans it up... nicely! |

Yay, finally someone has posted pics - good work! Now, when can I get my hands on a pair and how bad are the vibes going to be? |

Nice pics Slaughter, but why aren't you prepping your bike for the coming season instead of messing about with rear view mirrors........or have you retired? LOL |

Hey - they aint MY pics - you are ab-so-lute-ly RIGHT that I need to get the bike track-ready. Much to do, money to spend. Mirrors? They're not allowed anyways. |
