UIBarButtonItem does not extend UIView, so it cannot be transformed directly. You can add the UIBarButtonItem you wish to transform to a UIToolbar, transform the UIToolbar and then add the toolbar as a custom view to another UIBarButtonItem. This item can then be set as a navigation item or added to another UIToolbar.

UIBarButtonItem *backItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemPlay target:self action:@selector(handleForwardItemTouch:)];

UIToolbar *backToolbar = [[[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 44, 44)] autorelease];
[backToolbar setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeScale(-1, 1)];

UIBarButtonItem *backToolbarItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:backToolbar] autorelease];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = backToolbarItem;
