higher rear view mirrors

[Pastor]

Hi, I am looking for info from the collective 'busa wisdom on the site. Do any other taller suzuki mirrors from other models which will fit the gen 1 'busa? I have used the oncycle mirror risers on the standard mirrors but the lift is not enough for the lsl bar conversion I have just completed.
Cheers

P.S. I can attach a pic if the need arises.

Here they are, presuming I am doing it correctly. You will see what I mean. The spacers have put the mirrors out further and therfore a little higher, making the bike rideable, but would like to put on a set of mirrors that rose higher so I could have ample room for my fingers with a heavy set of gloves on. You will also see the screen missing - just waiting for a cut down custom version of an MRA touring screen.
Cheers

Thanks BK. I hadn't thought of either option. Bar end mirrors don't appeal as the bars stick out far enough as it is. Getting posts and putting mirrors near the master cylinders is a good idea, one to follow up on if nothing else arises. I would prefer a set of higher mirrors off another model that would fit onto where the existing mirrors sit. That way I don't have to devise a way of covering up the base plates of the standard mirrors if I completely remove them. Hopefully others will see this post and have some helpful input.

have a look at B king mirrors and what you do is get a set od mirroe block offs for the original mirrors

[Pastor]

After looking at a few pics on bikesales, the B King mirrors do look as though they would do the job, don't they. I will have to try and find a B King in the flesh for a closer inspection. What are these block off's you refer to? Are they a plate that Suzuki or some other company supply?

Excellent B.K., and with a further search found black aluminum mirror base plate covers with the hayabusa logo, and others also, at very good prices. I'll keep this in mind if I have to move to stem mirrors off the handlebars near the master cylinders.

Keep the mastercylinders as they are, just change the back half of the clamps for
GSX14 one's. I bought mine new from Suzuki, weren't too much $$$$.
Then you get a huge choice of bar's.



Mirror's are cheap aftermarket one's a mate got me.
I think they are similar to the MCS one's, MU23 and MU23L

Hi Tony, thanks for the info. Some time has passed since I posted this thread. Since then I have purchased new mirrors off the SV1000S (fairing version), and with the spacers I was using, they are terrific - give plenty of side and rear view, no vibration, and didn't require any adapter plate. This saved me having to go to mirrors off the bars. I discovered that there are a number of Suzuki models that have mirrors that fit by trolling on e-bay.
Cheers Mate

That's worth knowing too.
I'd like a faired/higher bar'd Busa like your's one day.
Thanks

Any chance of a pic with the new screen and mirrors ?

Hi Tony, I will try post a pic or 2 tomorrow. Glad you can file them away and perhaps find some use for them in the future.
