those are Master view mirrors.
you can choose color / shape of the mirror, color / lenght of the arm, with or with out blinkers even with integrated LED displays in them.
Doesn't fibrate much.

How well can you see out of the 1125 mirrors? I'd really like to have the signals up there and I am thinking of cutting into my short 03 mirrors to see what I will need to do to make it happen on the longer 04+ mirrors.

I can see "OK" but I am short 5'7". A taller person would have a better viewing angle. I had to push the glass as far to the outside as it would go. Also if you get the 1125 mirrors I would suggest drilling out the rivet on the stem and replacing it with a 5/16' bolt and lock nut.

Thanks to everyone for the responses... What I'm looking for is a shorter mirror, or maybe even a plug to get rid of them all together. The only thing is on the Firebolt the mirrors hold part of the front fairing on, so I need something to put in its place if I got rid of them all together... Again thanks for everyone help in advance...

I'll have some really short arm mirrors from my 03 9R, they are completely useless on the road, but they are road legal for inspections.

Of the really short 03 mirrors that are completely useless on the road? We can work something out if you really want them, but when I say they are useless, I mean they are useless for anything other than passing inspection. You would need to be way thinner than I am to make them function. I can let you know after I get my 04+ on there and take it for a ride, might be as soon as next week if the weather keeps going the way it is.
