    They will fit your bike,as most Yamaha mirrors will (Yamaha's rt. side mirrors are reverse threaded). The problem you may encounter is the stem length,especially if used with lower than stock bars. They might look good on the bike,but will probably offer only a view of your armpit. If you go with the lower bars and don't want a goofy-looking long stem mirror,you may want to look into some bar-end mirrors. Another nice feature of the bar-end mirrors is that they won't tip in toward the middle of the bike,as will any mirrors that you mount on drag bars. The clutch and brake perches on your bike are designed for buckhorn style bars,not drag bars. Hope this helps.

    It works Sno,but it looks as though it would be more at home on Frankenstein's neck. I guess I'm just too picky. Seriously though,with a little aesthetic refinement,you would be able to offer these and generate a handsome profit.

    This bar end was cheap and it's got less vibration than stock . Had to change when I went to drag bars
