will they work on my 1125r? My right mirror is broke and they suck. There is a set for $20 in Tulsa.

I read about "long stem mirrors" in zacs posts. What? There is a difference? This sounds stupid.

i think i found the ad you referenced in Tulsa...
think those are the proper mirror that Zac and others really like.
(I'd post link but wouldn't want you to lose your place in line : ))
the down side on these is you lose the blinker feature that comes w/ the stock 1125R mirrors.
the upside is apparently these mirrors are a big upgrade for quality and performance from the rear view aspect.

Zac said he re-wired the blinkers to the running lights.

The early Firebolts (03 and 04?) had short stems.
The later ones are longer and are the best mirrors I've ever used.

They are easy to adjust, have a wide range of movement and stay put.
You can see well enough to tell if that Dodge coming up on you is Grandma or a cop...

my bro in town has some from an 08 but he wants 50. By the time I pay shipping and wait a week I could just get the local ones. I'm not worried about the blinkers. I will try and do the zac mod. Just need to get the how to from him

He sent me pictures but never responded about the money order. I guess he doesn't want to box them up? Go get em if you think he will mess with the mail.
