i have no problem doing the flush mount turn signals on my buell since both of my mirrors are gone, but honestly I don't like the bar end mirrors and I was wondering if anyone else has done something different on the mounting position....I'm really hoping to start modifying my bike this summer since it will be paid off in the next couple of months! You guys have been the most helpful website and I have done searches for mounts and such but not having the luck im looking for thanks!! |

lol let me rephrase that, not lazy in mounting something new, just lazy to search because my searching here hasn't given me the answers im looking for....maybe the wrong key words? |

I use one of those wireless cameras on my Ducati 1198 because the mirrors are the worst I've ever come across, and bar end mirrors which I have on all my Buells, really spoil the lines. |

How about that helmet with the rear view mirror built into it. Kinda of like a periscope! |

I mounted Napolean bar ends on top of the handlebars where the stock lollypop mirrors were on my S1 and, IMHO, looks a bit better than the stockers plus the bike is not as wide as when they were sticking out from the handlebars. The hard part was making left-hand threaded adapters to fit the mirror mounts. |

Lazy is not typing in a somewhat concise title for threads you create. Dumb is me for being curious and clicking on it. |

As the saying goes, "Objects in mirrors no longer matter." You just need to get on the gas a little harder. |

I would say the backup camera mod sounds like a good one but just remember to get one with a nite lite. |

For some reason, I thought you had a CR... I have an R and the first time I rode it, I knew I hated the mirrors. I tried several ideas to fix them, make them work. wasted effort. Finally accepted they sucked and got a pair of Firebolt long-stem(05+ IIRC) mirrors. Wired the turn signals to the front marker lights. Replaced the halogen lo-beams with HID 6k *K(light blue tint). I can't remember the last time someone turned left or cut me off. Oh yeah, I love the mirrors.
I've seen some Honda flush-mounts done nicely. Some of the R1-R6 stuff will also work. Z |
