In a thread a few months ago someone mentioned there was a mod for the XB9R early mirrors to put them out past your shoulders. I've tried a few searches and can't seem to locate the info and I don't see anything for sale at American Sport Bike so I thought I better ask. Yes I want to keep the stock mirrors, but I want to push them out about an inch so that I can actually see what is behind me. |

i think that the newer R moddels have newer mirros that are longer |

Iman's correct. I had the same problem and just bought new ones at the local HD dealer. Look exactly the same only you can actually see! |

I thought it was mentioned you could get a kit that has a longer arm and I assume the new rubber piece. How much were the mirrors? |

American Sport Bike used to sell a kit to extend them but now you can just buy the newer mirrors instead. Scout is selling some in the classified section. he has one more set. I just bought a set from him yesterday. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/ 542261.html?1267391351 |

The '03 Firebolt had short stalks. Order up a set of '04 or later (current) Firebolt mirrors. I wan't to say they are about $35 [each?] - cannot remember, but was reasonable. Stalks are about an inch longer. |
