My 98 came with stock mirrors that are broke. I was told that firebolt mirrors can be made to fit, so I ordered them. Not sure if I want to enlarge the mounting holes to fit because I'm concerned about mirror adjustments. I'd like to see behind me and not my knees or wrists...anyone have made this work?

Is the glass broken or the actual mirrors? If the glass is the problem, you can go to a mirror/glass place and they'll fit new mirrors. How I happen to know is I was cruising between lanes (legal in CA) and hit a pick-up's mirror brace and popped out the mirror and it broke on my hand.

Nope, the previous owner monkeyed the housings. I got the firebolt mirrors to fit. Will have to do a road test once I get the bike done. Otherwise, I'm finding more Triumph parts that work.

Here's a link to a thread about retrofitting snowmobile mirrors to an S2 (may or may not be applicable to an S3...)
