Mirrors for Air-Tech full fairing/other full fairings
Anyone have any ideas for what mirrors I could use with my Air-Tech GP Fairing? It's this sucker: http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/yamaz/YZR350.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(yes I was the guy who scored the only used one to show up on ebay in eons, sorry!)
Anyway, some immediate ideas me and my 2stroke colleague had were:
- Bar end mirrors from ebay (pro: cheap, con: very small mirror surface)
- Bending the stock mirrors down so they fit with the fairing (pro: ???, con: could easily damage or break stock mirrors)
Any suggestions?

I would not recommend it without some form of reinforcement I have several of those fairings and I wouldn't want anything bolted to them, its racebike giberhlass & thin & weak. The bar end mirrors are probably a good choice don't look any less dorky than standard mirrors some of them are actually made quite well and rather small

Re: Mirrors for Air-Tech full fairing/other full fairings
Thank you all for the responses!
My next question then is what brand is the best in your opinion and where can I buy them? I'd like as much mirror area as I can get

Ebay. There are tons of styles. Just do a search for barend mirrors.
I have bought several different styles and they are all pretty much equal as far as quality.
