[QUOTE="art miller, post: 1180074, member: 19411"] The 1/8" rubber material is perfect for mounting the FZ1 mirrors. Note, the mirror base has an off-set of 1/8" on the two threaded studs. If you were to mount the mirrors without this material it will stand 1/8" off the fairing base. I discovered this when mounting FZ1 mirrors on my 07. The mirrors do not vibrate at any speed. They are just as firm as the stock mirrors in my opinion. The FZ1's are less likely to suffer damage than the stock mirrors on a tip over. If they do happen to get damaged, they are cheaper to replace and no worry about colour matching. As for the length of the studs, when cinched up there is only a thread or two showing. There are not enough threads to mount a bracket in my opinion. I do not know how the studs are fastened to the mirror base. If threaded in, perhaps they could be replaced with longer studs. [/QUOTE]
