found these on grandstanddesign.com. i looked and looked for some mirrors that looked good and fit in the stock location on the firebolts. all i ever found was bar end mirrors. these carbon fiber babys are sweet!!

Yeah, I've been eying them for awhile but they are a bit pricey for me. |

These probably shake just as much as the factory ones |

How is the vibration on these? I have bar ends, and I love them, they don't vibrate and they cost way less than these, but I do love the look of these. Do you have and pics of the front showing both mirrors? |

i havent bought these yet. thats just a picture of them on the website. the thing i like about them is that they fit in the stock location, look good, and i dont have to worry about having the stock mounting points blocked off. and as far as price, have you ever priced out block off plates for the stock mounting location? thats a ripoff if i ever saw one. and more visibility than the tiny bar ends is a big plus also |

I used the same style screws, as the ones that hold the windshield, for the mirror holes-doesn't look too bad. http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/10/web /2458000-2458999/2458244_239_full.jpg |

FYI - for something cheap but different, a Kawasaki Z750S uses the same mounting bolt spacing as the Firebolt. The mirrors are just the basic ones you'd find on a Japanese sportbike, but I like them. If you go to the Z750S forum, you'll find that those guys actually LOOK for Firebolt mirrors because the visibility is much better on their bikes with them. My stock mirrors were a little scratched and I had a guy offer to trade his mint mirrors straight up. I think the only other bike to ever use our mounting bolt spacing was the 636, but those are the same mirrors that we have. |
