Hi,
Just changed from a TMax to a MP3 400.
One thing that I really hate is the mirror placement. They just don't belong there. It looks like someone forgot to include the mirrors and it was a last minute «oops.. no mirrors.. just put something... HERE». I just can't see anything to the rear and every time I try to adjust them, I ended up with an unscrewed mirror (WTF!?!?!).

So, and since I come from a TMax, I though I could apply those mirrors on the MP3, in the same position of the TMax mirrors.
Before I start to cut pieces, does anyone ever tried to install the TMax mirrors in the MP3, or at least put some thoughts on this mod?
Last week I replaced the windshield (GIVI) and noticed that, under the removable Y-shaped front fairing, it could be possible to install some kind of support to the TMax mirrors.

Any thoughts?

Phil

That's it. And it looks fantastic. Copy Paste is OK for me
Thanks,

Wow. I like the look of that WAY more than the stock mirrors.

Great, now I have another mod that NEEDS to go on my list. I may have to get a second job just to pay for all the stuff I HAVE to do to my bike...

Wow. No wonder I haven't seen too many of these conversions done on here...

Maybe I'll have to check at JC Whitney and see if there's anything I can MacGyver...
