and they have verified that it is free shipping from DHL Express.
The pair is $79.00 which is 50% off of the price. I will upload pics when they come in and are installed.

pictures?

Do you have any pictures of the mirrors on your fz6r?

Bump for pics, and also a quality check review. I'm interested in a set.

I had a set on my 6R and I really liked them. I thought they were very well made.

I have them, and they are really well made and I can see a lot more compared to the stock mirrors

Here are pictures of the bar end mirror. I could not get the inserts to expand and work, so I just used the one bar end mirror on the clutch side. I cannot seem to make it work on the brake side without it tightening up against the throttle. My state allows for one mirror and I can see everything behind me with the one on. I would give this product a 4 out of 10. The quality of the material and workmanship is pretty good, but trying to figure out how to get the mirrors on took me over an hour, and it didn't get me very far. No directions...fyi.

BTW, if you mount like I did your clutch handle will hit the backside of the mirror. I have a new shorty clutch and brake lever on the way.

I think they are supposed to be mounted on the bar end not the handlebar? You can get bar ends that allow mirrors to be mounted to them.

Mine are set up the same way. Just move everything inward they will fit.

here's hoping they don't fade like my ride-it levers did. my bike stays indoors and the anodizing has faded considerably.

I tried moving everything inward and put them on the bar but the control housing on each handlebar has a notch underneath that fits into a hole in the handlebar itself so that the control housing cannot move. I guess I could cut the tab off the bottom on the control housing for the horn and turn signals and such, but don't want that sliding around on the handlebar.

What are your thoughts?

I did try putting directly on to the bar end, but our bar ends are tapered and it didn't sit right. I guess I can get new bar end caps and try again.

I cut mine when I swap my handlebar for the Renthal. Never had any issue with it. Mine are on the 7/8" dia part of the handlebar... you need to remove the bar end and put the mirror on.

What I did with mine was I wrapped black hockey tape (I guess masking tape would work too) around the bar end expansion assembly,,slid it into the handle bar and then turned the adjustment screw and it went tight. It was tight enough that they did not blurr or buzz but if you did hit them they would move a bit.,,no big deal just move them back.
