NEW STYLE MIRRORS ON AN 03-RX-1

[local 25]

I just put on the new style mirrors ,what an awsome improvement from the other style.One drawback is that they are a real pain in the a$$ to install.very time consuming.

Fix your front suspension! You've got progressive crappy springs on the front.

LB, thanks for taking notice. I put the M-10 on this season,so that kinda wiped out my accessory budget for this year. But next year im gonna put the Ohlins on the front. Although,what would you recomend if i wanted to spend a little $$ for the remainder of this season? Thanks, Mark.

I would say FORGET the ohlins, not necessary. Just put on a pair of 130 or 140 pound per inch springs on the stock shocks. $90.

Also 04 links and bushings, and 13mm swaybar.

They are RS Venture mirrors. I almost went with them for my new 04. But the dealer stated they vibrate quite a bit and you cannot get a cover over them. So I went with the stock RX-1 mirrors.

By the way, if you mount the the stock RX-1 mirrors on the opposite sides (left on right, right on left) you can adjust them to see better.

Local ,I did the same as lazy said , put on the straight rate springe the new link and I went with the 12 mm bar and then next year go with the simmons skis and you will save money over the ohlins and it will handle better .

The simmons skis were the best upgrade I've made. If I was going to do only one thing that would be it.

I installed the same mirrors on my 03 and have no problem with the cover or vibration. But I installed a water temp guage and you have to mount the guage lower on the dash because of the cross bar between the mirrors. PS like the look of the hand guards on the handlebars.

the new style mirrors dont vibrate at all,i think it has something to do with the metal bracket that goes between the 2 mirrors. as far as a cover goes i use a covered trailer so i dont even own one.

Damn, maybe I should have went for those mirrors after all!

Those mirrors also will fit under most covers as the mirrors fold back and fit nicely into the area between the side and middle portions of the windshield.
