Hi,
I saw some PZ sports mirrors going up for sale on FB marketplace. I checked the parts catalog, the parts number seem to match, but if anyone could confirm S1 mirrors would fit an R3 that would be appreciated.
PZ mirror on R3?

Re: PZ mirror on R3?
Yes pretty sure they do, I have them on my R3. (Not the best pic but all I have).
Was pretty simple to swap, just need basic tools, trim removal tools are helpful as I think you need to remove the tweeter to access the plug, but could be wrong, was a while ago!

Re: PZ mirror on R3?
Yes, they are interchangeable.
Note that the PZ mirrors are even smaller than the OEM S1 mirrors, which are themselves smaller than the later R3 mirrors.
I looked at fitting PZ mirrors on my S1 but having driven a friends PZ I found the limited vision scary in the traffic of South Essex /London, though with the traffic here I could probably have lived with it. Just something to be aware of.
I'm also not sure if the PZ mirrors are heated (Can someone check this please?)
You need to do the change-over in warm weather, or warm garage, or at least with a heatgun to hand, as the plastics get very brittle in the cold and can snap.
