I saw a post on this with pics, but can't seem to find it. Please help. Also, is it pretty easy to do?

Yeah, they bolt up from what I remember. Check out the Speedzilla.com XBR superbike mirrors as well, like the 1125R mirrors but better looking in my opinion.

You will need to drill a hole for the wires to go through, but otherwise they bolt right up.

They bolt on just fine, but you may want to drill out the pivot rivet pin and replace with an M8 nut and bolt to get the angle right. Not sure if the latest mirrors are better but I got some 2008 ones and for my height they need to be tilted out slightly more than the stock "snap home" position. M8 bolt mod worked wonders for me (there is a thread about this too)

Are the turn signals in the Speedzilla mirrors LED?

you can buy the mirrors for the 1125 from dealers for just over $100.. Speedzilla's were $170... both are LED

What is the M8 Mod?

I was curious about the Speedzilla's, I'll go with the Buell mirrors because they are less expensive.

Sometimes you can even locate a badwebber that has stripped the mirrors off of their
1125 race or street bike and get an even better deal on the price.

Don't overlook your resources.

you left your stock turn signals on? I got mine from a fellow badwebber... This weekend Spidy is coming out to the house, we are tearing the Firebolt down. WINTER PROJECT!! Taking the fork tubes, engine covers, rocker covers, stay, and others off to powder coat...

Then installing new mirrors... ROCK ON!!! but it was 27 today, and still snow.. STINKS!!!

I think the Speedzillas look slicker. They look great on a Honda Superhawk, basically the same mirror as the XBR's..

So who has a good idea to cover up the stock signal hole? I think leaving a signal in the stock hole would look stupid if you have a mirror w/ a signal integrated.

SORRY camera phone pics and video....I just went to a local hardware store and found some bitchin looking bolts and put them on (the black thing is a push clip I put in the little alignment hole in case
I ever wanted stockers again).I also bought some flush mount ones from cyclegear but ended up putting them in the side air slots so when I use my blinker at night it lights out of ther.
