Mirror Extensions

[HeyJoe]

I've looked at the SW Mototech mirror extension topic on this forum. Great source, but nothing appears recent. They're actually hard to find these days, especially in Canada. Does anyone have any links to online sites (U.S. and CA sites) that still carry them? Are there other mirror extension brands worth looking at?
Your advice is welcome

HeyJoe,

Here you go . . .

Print them in black Nylon and you will be bulletproof.

I tried the extensions and found that the FZ1 mirrors were a much better choice. Get the real ones from Yamaha, the Chinese knockoffs don't fold.

If you really want the Motech ones, I think I still have them in my giant box of FJR parts in the shop. I can look for them if you are interested, send me a message.

Yeah, just checked Revzilla where I got mine and they no longer stock them either.

The sw motech extenders are superb. If they worked with my clearwater light mounts, I’d still be using them.

They are availble form purchase from sw motech.

I’d say the Motech extensions do help and do not distract from the asthetics, but can’t compare to the FZ1 from personal expirience. I am tall and would not mind the mirrors extended a little more as others claim the FZ1 mirrors are said to do.

I have the SW-Motech Mirror extenders. I have broad shoulders and they work perfectly for me and appear as stock as the mirrors themselves.

I just checked and they appear to be available from SW-Motech USA, but shipped from Germany with a two to five week shipping estimate. $69.95

I second this. I love my FZ1 mirrors

Where do you gt them? Can't seem to lock in on a pair, even on the Yamaha site

It's hard to track down a set of the FZ1 mirrors, even on the Yamaha web site. Can you throw down some bread crumbs? Thx.

I bought some after market FZ 1 mirrors and they worked great on my gen 2. 130 mph and still could see clearly enough. But they don't look good on the bike. I saved them when I sold and bought my 2013, need them but can't seem to install because of how they look. Beware of knock offs that don't include bolts or hardware.

 

[RedRiderMN]

I painted a set of the SW Motech Mirror Extenders to match and was pretty happy with them.





But then I installed a set of Yamaha FZ1 Mirrors and there is simply no comparison, I can now actually see things behind me and NOT just my shoulders:



YMMV

How about: https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/yamaha/motorcycle/2005/fz1-fz1t/cowling-1 ?

I saw in another thread that @Oldjeep mentioned that the Emgo ones were the same as the stock. I don't know if that means they look the same, or look the same AND function the same. Maybe he or someone who has tried this particular aftermarket mirror set can chime in.

Got them about 5 years ago. Had the bike at the shop and one of the "techs" bumped a mirror and broke the plastic. The shop owner bought a set and installed them for me.

PS never bought the story it got bumped, I think they wacked it or something. Had the shop show me the stays were still good.

I have factory on my fz1 and emgo on my fjr. Look and function the same.

Dennis Kirk. #392737 Rt side. Look for left. Worked great on my gen 2. Seems there are 2 threads on this?

Good thanks for the reply I just ordered a set of the emgo's!
