I really like the sport mirrors on the buddy riot. Is there anyway to put those on my 2008 Buddy?

Check with Scooterworks to see if the Riot mirrors are available as replacement parts.
To be honest, those mirrors look very similar to the Yamaha C3 mirrors that I put on my wife's 170i.

They are my favorite stock position mirrors. I tend to run bar end mirrors when I really want to see what's going on behind me (I already know what my shoulders look like).
You can sometimes get a bit better view behind you by bending the angle on the mirror a bit. Wrap the threads with a towel and then carefully clamp them in a vice while you slowly bend them. Don't bend too much or too quickly, or the powdercoat is likely to crack, leaving you with nasty looking (although more functional) mirrors.

Check out the mirrors from a Roughhouse. They look great on the Buddy. As a bonus, you can actually see things in them!
