Aftermarket mirrors 5 Months ago  
Is anybody using aftermarket mirrors? Any recommendations?

I rewally like the Arlen Ness ones I bought last year. They stay better then the Kuryakyn one's I had before.

I recommend that you buy good ones not the cheapest pieces of crap they will vibrate and you won't be able to see a damn thing out of them

Re:Aftermarket mirrors 5 Months ago  
I learned my lesson about the cheap eBay mirrors with my Vmax.....no more!
We have a Arlen Ness shop here in town. Maybe I'll cruise down and take a look at what they have.
Question, will Harley mirrors fit our Roadstars?
Thanks for the help guys!

Arlen sells Yamaha adapters or you can get them online at various places.

Re:Aftermarket mirrors 5 Months ago  
I have flame style mirrors and the viewing area is small, took some getting use to. They are not well made, I had to do a few things to even get them to be usable. I have debated on going back to the stock mirrors.
Now if Jaybo would chime in, he just put some mirrors on his bike that look really good and functional, they have the blinkers in them too.

They can with these:
Yamaha SAE Mirror Adapters

Make sure you're getting the SAE/Yamaha not metric-other/Yamaha adapters.

Re:Aftermarket mirrors 5 Months ago  
I've tried a variety of mirrors and have to say the stock one's end up being the best for me.
Well made and right size to see what's happening behind me (you know, where you guys are ).
