kev.coop,
2 questions:
Are those the $30 eBay mirrors from Hong Kong?
Any excess vibration when you're riding?
Thanks!

Yes, those are the mirrors I bought. Took about 10 days to get here from Hong Kong.
No excess vibration while riding.
10/10 for installation( If you can make toast, you can install the mirrors)
7-8/10 for view ( can't see directly behind me like the stocks)
9-10/10 for looks ( much better than the stocks, so i dont mind the view)
10/10 for vibration ( my stocks vibrated at 80+ mph, these don't)
The best part is no drilling into my bike.
BondGirls directions where spot on, thanks again BG.:thumbup:

I just picked up a set of '08 Kawi ZX6 mirrors on ebay. Not sure if they are the same bolt pattern but I like the sharper look better than the rounded pre '08 versions. Think they go better with the overall styling of the bike. I'll snap a photo if they fit - if not, then back on ebay they will go.
I've had the trojan mirrors on since last year and they pretty much blow - really hoping these fit.

The angle on those will go good with this bike. Hope they fit.
Does your levers hit the mirrors in a full lock turn..mine do....
no. I have them turned down a bit.
are your bars in the forward or backward position on the clamp? and are they straight up or more aggressive (rolled back towards you)? I looked at my bike again and I don't see how it's possible unless your lever is wayyyy up.
I think you are right...I left the bars in the standard straight up position and moved them forward. Thinking about getting some bars with less rise.
why not roll them back a little? i've got them rolled back so there's just enough clearance for my thumb and the tank. Very rarely are you at full lock (usually when moving your bike around), so it may be worth it to play with the positioning instead of replacing the bars.
I'll replace the levers and rotate the bars down...I never go 1/2 way....
I put the C/F ZX6R mirrors on as well. They look great and vibration is almost nil, but function is horrible. I can not see anything behind me so I ordered a set of Bug Eyes to try. I have one question for all who have taken off the plastic around the instrument cluster. When I put mine back on there is a gap where it comes to a point where the fairing meets, I cant remember if it was like that before or if I broke something. The pics dont look bad but it is pretty wide. Sorry they are not clear and this is long.

there are tiny notches in the front cowling that the black plastic (gauge cluster) should fit into. take it off and look for th notches.
What would you rate it versus the stock mirrors 0/10?
Still waiting on this review to order. Have my money ready.
Things I've interested in is the look versus ZX6 mirrors, and which is better.
