I have been meaning to do this for about a year and haven't got around to it. Thanks for the reminder. | ||

I remember the hint now - gotta do that soon too! | ||

Does improve things about a billion percent... and as far as the color of the cars in the mirror, as long as they aren't black and white!! | ||

Just about mandatory...! I did mine about a year and a half ago...about 4 or 5 weeks after getting my CR off the showroom floor and into my garage. I've mentioned it a coupla times...but someone else brought it up before I did. Mike | ||

Yea... I was gonna get new mirrors but decided to try it out. Used black silicone and bam! Deff a must do mod. | ||
| Mrbuell |
where do you put it? | ||
| Nukeblue |
cut the tip off the tube point applicator and squeeze it into the little gap all the way around the glass. filling the space between the glass and black mirror housing. careful with your finger smoosh it in and wait to dry | ||

Be sure to set you mirrors first. I taped up my mirrors first so I had no spillover to worry about.  | ||

Totally need to do this. 1125R mirrors on an XB12R . . lol. | ||

No I took mine apart and put foam under the mirror. My good friend Neil (Ccryder) did this and showed us how he did it. He also turned his 1125R into an RT. Nice hard bags. Several Buell engineers were visiting him and checking his mods out at Homecoming 2008. I gave up on making mine work, got a set of late-model Firebolt mirrors and wired the signals to the running lights. Left-turn in the pic.  Z | ||

Whatever happened to Neil? I haven't seen him post in a while? | ||
| Zac4mac |
Haven't talked to him in a while, but he sends me e-mail jokes all the time. I think he's up to his eyeballs at work, I know he has a long commute. My new job has me gone half the day - 10 hr days and an hour each way. I can empathasize. Zack |
