SV650 mirrors on mine you have to elongate the holes in the fairing stay but much better vision.

Bought some SV1000 pattern/copy ones of eBay for about £20. As per previous listing, elongated holes a smidge and job jobbed. And they look more modern to boot.

Those "Rabbit Ears"ones you can get from the Demon Tweeks catalogue - either black or faux carbon fibre

Bar end mirror will give you the best view, you could use it alongside the originals or blank them off.

I put sv650 -1000 mirrors on mine, they fit in the trx mirror arm holder - feet ore base , just put in an extra washer. Its no need to take the trx mirror feet of the faring, ore drilling the sv feet. Just unscrew the mirror arm .

Not sure about the English words here. :D

Same problem here and I bought Suzuki GSX-R 1000 mirrors from 2001-2002 models. They fits with little modification to TRX´s original mirror brackets, it needed only couple washers extra.

A friend of mine has mounted mirrors from a 02' R6, he has to elongate the holes a little to fix ist.

I'll see, the better to buy are the SV/GSX-R1000 mirrors. 8)
