No the position has never changed, they just vibrate. I did tighten down the pivot point when I got them though, which that is the allen screw that motosniper talked about.

How is the visibility out of them. Are they about the same as stock and what did you have to drill a hole in?
OK! MOTO, you are mostly correct. Though, I didnt see your post until I made the discovery for myself. Now i wish I had PM you or something so I wouldnt have had to re-invent the wheel.
So...my new opinion on the Trojans Integrated:
Looks = really nice
Functionality = meh (you cant see directly behind you, unless you touch your elbows together )
Vibration = minimal (the rubber tape I put down worked pretty well and the electrical tape that I wrapped around the other (had to cut slits for the screws) worked just as well too.
Yes, you have to tighten the hell out of them. I actually got them to the point that the screw turns (so taking them out will be really fun). And MOTO is right on the money with the tightening the allen wrench screw thing. That really did the trick.
For me, I'm keeping them, even though they are not as good safety-wise. I'll still upgrade to a different set of mirrors that have longer stalks. About one more inch or so would be great.
Overall...its something to consider. For you guys in the area, like "Area", JSP, and others, you can come take a look, ride the bike if you wish, and decide for yourselves.
(my 2 cents)
Happy with mine ... have to tighten the screw sometimes ... vibrate more and less visibility than the stock one but have by far a greater look ...
I've seen these one on ebay : Universal Integrated Street Bike Mirrors & LED Signals:eBay Motors (item 380146137338 end time Sep-03-09 16:22:40 PDT)
3-way ajustable ... look great, don't know if they came only in chrome ...

Yeah I'd def like to see these !OK! MOTO, you are mostly correct. Though, I didnt see your post until I made the discovery for myself. Now i wish I had PM you or something so I wouldnt have had to re-invent the wheel.

Let me know
What about the Costco? Can you meet me there at 6:40PM?
sounds good, i have my car today look for a black vw gti
Sounds good. See you there.
Throw up some pictures, im interested to see how this looks.
Here is a link about these mirrors. Havent seen them on the FZ6R though.

and a pic of them:
drilled a hole in each side of mounting braket to mount bolt. they are shorter than stock and u get a good range, 6 or 7 out of 10, the first picture i posted in this thread had 1 stock and 1 r6
Anyone thought about putting GSXR mirrors on their bike? Look like they may fit and will lay down quite a bit more. Plus they have the turn signals like I'm looking for. I'm still planning on buying the Trojan Mirrors when I get some more $$ together. But I'd be interested to see if the GSXR's would work.
You know, I wondered that same thing. I saw a gorgeous white GSXR 750 at the bank the other day and was admiring the integrated signal mirrors. Got me questioning whether they would fit or not.
I found a set of mirrors that are kind of like a cross between the Trojans and the GSXR mirrors. Universal LED Mirrors I just got these in today. IMO they're the best looking ones I've seen for our bike. I'll get some pics up tomorrow. (left my camera on my desk at work) They lay much more horizontally than the stock ones and even the Trojans. The install was a bit of a pain at first. Have to cut a hole in the middle of the rubber insert for the wires. Then adjusting them took some time to get just right. They move in an odd way the way they hinge. Also, I ended up cutting the rubber cover for the hinge that they come with. The angle you have to put them to on our bikes just made the cover not want to fit quote right. It just looked better without it on there. I haven't ridden with them yet since I just finished putting them on. But I doubt I'll have any issues with them falling like others had with the Trojans. These things are tight and hard to move. Wiring was simple. Ran them through the hole cut into the rubber spacer and soldered on a set of plugs so they could just plug right into the stock turn signal plugs. The lights are nice and bright and easy to see. So far so good. Just another option out there.
