Will the FZ1 mirrors work on a 2016? I had them on my 05 and they were great. The mirrors on the 16 are great for looking at my elbows again.
Split: FZ1 mirrors on 2016?

They work on my 2013 and I don't think there have been any plastic changes on the 2016.

grnarrowe, if you put the FZ1 mirrors on your 2016, would you take pictures? I am considering these mirrors for my 2015. Thanks!

grnarrowe, nevermind about the photos. I found this link on another thread: https://www.fjr1300.info/mods/FZ1mirrors.html

Those pics are of a Gen 1. Your Gen 3 is different for mounting.

Send me an email, [email protected] and I will reply with pics of the FZ1 mirrors on my 2014. Keep in mind you need to shape a spacer between the plastic recess and the mirror base. I used 1/8" rubber. Looks OEM good. I have not figured out how to resize pics to satisfy the forum's capability.
It's buried in a thread that I started about mirror spacers, but after I gave up on spacing the 2nd/3rd Gen mirrors out, I posted some photos of mounting the FZ1 mirrors on my 3rd Gen 2014 here:

Question Fred... what year OEM FZ1 mirrors fit on the gen3's? Or doesn't it matter?
Thanks...

5LV-26290-00-00 - Right
Found them for 72.50 each. Think I'll go to Nielsen's where I bought the 16 and see if I can get them a little cheaper.
And thanks to all for your help.

Or try the various Parts and Farkles sources a forum member conveniently arranged for you to comparison shop in the FAQ section... Almost always beat local dealers.

Thanks to all and I will post pics when done.
are 2016 & 2017 mirrors the same? just went to the dealer to start shopping for a replacement for my 05. ... Mirrors on 2017 look totally different, and recess doesnt look at all like 2005. ... Also, it seems like 2017 mirrors do not "fold all the way back" ? ..... Did the fz1 mirrors fit on your 2016?
The mirrors are the same (except color) from 2006 on. In 2013 the front faring shape totally changed for the 3rd Gen, which created some little recessed areas that the mirrors now mount in. The 2017 faring and mirrors are the same as all 3rd Gens (2013 on)
Click the below link to see how the FZ1 mirrors fit in the 3rd Gen faring recesses.

So I got the mirrors and a Heli bar riser for the bike.
With this having linked ABS brakes and the need to lengthen the brake line, which is included, I decided that it would be best to have my dealer install the Heli bars and while they had it do the mirrors as well.
I know, not the same as doing it yourself, but it was easier.
First, the before pictures.
For the new FZ1 mirrors I got some rubber material from Art Miller, thanks Art, for spacers. I cut a template out of paper laid it on the rubber
and cut it out.
I used a drill for the holes. If you have a punch press or access to one, that would work as well.
Now with the spacers in place it's time for install.
And like I said earlier, I cheated.
This looks much better and I can see behind me.
It's not 100% factory looking but it is real close.
As for the Heli bars just on the ride home from the dealer I could feel the difference. It has the right up and back length needed and I still can adjust them if needed.
They provide the hose to lengthen the brake line, this is why I did not do this farkle.
I also got a ram mount for the Heli Bar so I can run my GoPro. I have another for the handle bar which I'll put on before to long.
And the last thing I did so far was to have the seat re-done by Seth Laam.
I got the seat back on April 27, I have had it a week and only ridden it twice since then, weather not cooperating round here.
But it is comfy so far, more on this later.
Again, thanks to all here for your help and knowledge on all things FJR.
