[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1183078, member: 3828"] Okee dokey... Got my new (1st gen) FZ1 mirrors in today. First thing that I noticed was that the FZ1 mirror's studs are considerably shorter than the stock 3rd Gen FJR mirror's are. Stock 3rd Gen = 30mm and 1st Gen FZ1 = 22mm. That isn't going to make anything easier... [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/weirdsmiley.gif[/IMG]. I had played around with the 30mm studs (before the FZ1's showed up) and it looked like they might actually be long enough to mount a WynPro AntiVibe Aux Light Bracker under the mirror and space it out far enough to clear the fairing, and still get full thread engagement on the nut. But with these shorter studs that goes right out the window. Next I played around positioning my Wynpro AVB's on the third gen and the bend of the bracket which follows the contour of the front of earlier gens is all wrong, Here's a picture of the big problem. The mirror mounting point is recessed in the front faring on 3rd gens: And the recessed area is not uniformly deep, As you can see below it is shallow at the top (1-2 mm) and gets deeper (6-7 mm) at the lower end.
