Snow, I don't know if they'll fit. They look like they might. At that price, if they didn't, it wouldn't cost much to return them. | ||

Thanks FT! | ||

Ulendo, if you are worried about breaking mirrors, you could try a set of these look under your arm ones. I have them on my DRZ, and they work ok to make sure you aren't getting pulled over/tailgated, but are very difficult to take out in a crash. http://www.dual-star.com/index2/Equipment/adjustab le_mirror2.htm | ||

not worried about breaking them at all, and nothing would have survived what broke my stock ones ( tipped over upside down in some rocks) maybe its my ergos (short rider)but the kimpex mirrors give a great view. the weights are strictly for the vibration issue - threw the idea up here as a cheap option for anyone interested. | ||

Got word today that the originator of the "Tuono mirror swap", Warbaby, has left our ranks in favor of a new Fizzy. Can I get a moment of silence for our fallen leader? [In a hushed voice] Psst! I've seen it...purtiest 07 Raven FZ1 I have ever seen...and he's already started the whole moddin' process agin...I'd have one, too, if the cards were more in my favor...anybody want to buy a slightly used 03 Firebolt?  | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
anybody want to buy a slightly used 03 Firebolt? How many thousand miles on the same fluid and brakes? | ||
| Fdl3 |
How many thousand miles on the same fluid and brakes? As many as I can get!  | ||

Is the lowered uly 4 sale? Fdl3 are you the blue bolt I used to see on 109 in the mornings? I use to work in gallatin and would see a blue bolt in the morning s heading south. | ||
| Fdl3 |
Barker: Negative. | ||
| Barker |
not for sale? or not you on 109? or both? | ||

I have to say that AF1 has great customer service. I ordered my mirrors and they have updated me on every step. I can't wait to get them on my 06 Uly that I just got. | ||
| Fdl3 |
Barker: Negative to me being the blue Firebolt on 109. | ||

Is there a difference as far as the mirrors that are available. I contacted the local Aprilia dealer and they quoted me $16 and some change for the part numbers listed earlier in this thread versus $49 from AF1 and higher elsewhere. Anything I should look out for? | ||
| Thelumox |
ordered the mirrors from AF1, got them three days later. i really like them. birdman is correct, these belong on the uly! my uly has TT bars on it, and i can see better now. can't imagine what AF1 is thinking, just sold 20 sets of mirrors in one week. | ||
| Birdmanrh |
Stewadi, I am willing to bet they are only quoting part of the item, not the entire mirror. The price of $49 is in line with what it should be. My guess is that $16 is just the part that mounts the mirror. | ||
| Barker |
That makes 2 more TN buellers I haven't had the pleasure to meet. | ||

Got the mirrors real quick from AF1 and installed them last night...SWEET. Taking them for a weekend ride to OBX tomorrow......totally change the look of the bike, really sweet. | ||

I guess my question about the mirrors is do they handle the vibes better. I have the HVMP bar ends and while they help the hand grip vibes, they mirrors are still pretty much useless. Do these resist that better or just offer better line of sight? | ||
| Thelumox |
Jm-yes. i also have the hvmp weights (powder coated black), and the mirrors are much clearer except for the 2200-2400 rpm range that shakes everything. this has been one of my favorite mods! | ||
| Firstbatch |
+1 on the mirrors....just finished a weekend trip and the mirrors simply work great on the Uly. Much improved line of sight, they are clear enough at most RPM's, and look great. As others have said these mirrors should be OEM on the Uly. | ||

According to the catalog, AP8104921 (RH) and AP8104922 (LH) are the complete mirrors. I ordered mine through the local dealer and the are ~$36 for the pair minus tax. | ||
| Jmhinkle |
Oldnotbold or Stewadi, have you received them yet to verify they are the complete mirror assembly? We have a new Aprilia dealer in town so I might just stop by if they are truly that cheap. If not, I can check out the John Deere tractors or Arctic Cat 4-wheelers he sells too. What a combo! | ||
| Alchemy |
Oldnotbold, Those are the same part numbers I got at the dealer near me. The price was about $38 each however for the order. | ||
| Oldnotbold |
The dealer told me that Aprilia parts are running about two weeks. They should be here sometime next week. I'll let you all know. | ||
| Stewadi |
Same here 7-10 days. I took in the parts schematic and a picture of the mirror assembly just to make sure and they confirmed that the part number was for the entire mirror assembly. Looking at †he receipt, they were $36.50 for the pair plus tax. | ||
| Froggy |
Went to the closest dealer near me, ordered a pair, $36.50 for my pair, just gave them the part number Oldnotbold posted and they took my money. I'll post some pics when I get them. | ||
| Birdmanrh |
Well, I guess my spending $100 makes you guys feel comfortable spending $40... Hope you are grateful. | ||
| Jungletym |
My "local" Aprilia dealer told me the mirrors would be in 2-4 weeks. Got the mirrors in 3 days from AF1, didn't mind spending the extra cash to get 'em right away. | ||
| Crusty |
I just called my local dealer. He wants twenty bucks and change for each mirror, said they're readily available and can have them in a few days. I guess I'll get them. | ||
| Oldnotbold |
Birdmanrh, We are grateful. I just wanted to share my research and decision to buy and maybe save someone else some $$. |
