At highway speeds, they do vibrate a little. Even still, you can make out that a vehicle is behind you and know what color it is. If there are red and blue flashing lights behind you...... :shok: You will be able to see them too.... :pardon:

lol ok cool. Looking at the mirrors specs at http://www.zillion8.com/motorcycle-mirror/honda-motorcycle-mirror/black-honda-cbr1000rr-mirror-2004    it says 4 cm (40mm) mounting hole spread. I measure 48mm on my FJ mirror hole spread. ???

Look near the bottom of the first page on this thread and it shows what I did to make the mounts work.

If you can get some OEM mounts. All you have to do is remove the mounts from the CBR mirrors, rotate 90 degrees and insert into the FJ OEM mounts, put the screw through. You may have to remove a little material from the mirror end to get it to fit.
