I'm sure I've read on here somewhere that R1 mirrors are compatible for transplant onto the storm and far better as they stick out further....which years are compatible????????

Yes they do fit.

I've just got a pair myself.

They sit lower due to the angle of the arms, you do get a better view however. TBH I havent tried them out yet, only fitted yesterday so I cant comment on weather they wobble about or not. I can comment on the fact that the Yam rubber boots don't look quite right as they are a different shape.

As for which year, apparently mirrors are fairly universal, but to be on the safe side either take your bike & some spanners, or just a mirror or do what I did. Take a mirror off, use a thick marker pen & apply some ink to the bolt ends & press onto a piece of paper to mark the distance between bolts. Take that to a breakers & compare.

Had a pair on for over a year now a lot better rear vision well worth it if being safe is your main need dont look to bad at all .
Plus have found that if your bike is knocked over by a tw@ in a car they provide good crash protection
