Gen 1 mirror Fit 2017

[GoldFJR]

By any chance does anyone know if a mirror from a Gen 1 fits a 2017?

Thanks

Yes, the bolt pattern fits. However, they may not be the exact same length and position as the stock mirrors.

A common thing to do has been get a longer set of early-generation Yamaha FZ-1 mirrors and bolt those on. They're like Gen 1 mirrors but noticeably longer.

Yep. FZ1 mirrors are a big improvement. Any year below 2006 will work.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback.

They are functional !!!

Nope. Since he didn't specify, I am assuming he was asking about putting Gen I FJR mirrors on an 2017. They would offer no additional benefit and be butt-ass ugly at the same time.

If you're gonna go that route might as well do Gen 1 FZ1 mirrors. Same look, better functionality.

Gen 1 mirrors on Gen 2/3 scooters offer the Additional benefit of the ability to spread them further apart to look into the lanes on either side when in multi-lane environments. The Gen 2/3 mirrors are design limited in their range of adjustment. Function over form!! And yes the FZ1 mirrors give even more field of view.

Besides beauty is in the eye of the beer holder!!

And besides that, why do you GAF what someone else does to their scooter???
