Those look suspeciously very much like the Trojans....are you sure they are not the Trojans?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.

I thought they were trojans at first as well.
Well I think you guys are right. After looking at the pics of some of the Trojans more closely, I think they are. But the way they were mounted in the add made them look like they were different. I mounted them the way they show in the add. They look pretty good, but they're completely worthless as mirrors. Granted, I was trying to get them setup while riding at night. Not the best idea. But I can tell, they're just not going to work at all mounted like this. I'll reinstall them tonight the other way around and see how they work from there.

OK I went home at lunch and took a look to see if these are the Trojan mirrors. I think the may be the same brand, but they're different. I found this pic of the blue bike earlier in the thread. Look at the difference in the mounting position on these compared to mine in the post above. I tried to swap them today and put them on the other way and it actually laid them down below the grip level. The arm on mine makes an almost 90º turn after the hinge from the base where the ones in this pic look like they come almost straight up with a very slight angle to it. I'm going to try and work on getting these things setup safely. I'd like to use them as I like the look of them being lower. But they just don't seem like they're going to work worth a damn being that low. I can either see my hands or the car directly next to me. Not much else. I'll let you know if I find any other solution.
Well after an hour or so of messing around with them, it's obvious my mirrors are a different designed than any of the Trojans I've seen people post up so far. I started messing around with the mounting location since the mirrors have slotted bolt holes. I think I've got them adjusted to a point that they're actually usable. If the stock mirrors were a 10/10, I'd give these a 5/10 adjusted the way they are right now. I really like the look a lot better and having turn signals that people in front of you can actually see (unlike my flushmounts) is a big plus. So I'll just have to work on knowing how to use the mirrors now with the lack of vision. I head check a lot anyways so I don't think it'll be that big of a deal.
LOL. I just looked at your pics and yes, they mount and stalks ARE different! Now I will finish reading your posts to see how you liked them...or not....here's to hoping they are better though!
I got mine to work a little better to the point that I can actually see behind me. I still have to move an arm and move a little to do it, but it can be done. I wish there were mirrors out there, with lights, that can actually be set so we can just glance over and see behind us.
Thanks for the review.
demon408- What year R6 mirrors are yours? I'm looking at getting some and searching R6 mirrors on Ebay I'm getting a ton of mirrors with very different looking mounts.
After a couple of months I'm not extremely happy with my mirrors I put on. They just don't really look right to me. I have to completely move my left hand to see even close to behind me. The right one is good for seeing what's next to me and that's about it. They vibrate like hell and the boot that comes with them to cover the mounts won't work at the extreme angle I have to have them angled so they kind of look like hell. Every other mirror I've tried (GSXR mirrors) just sit at an odd angle because our front fairing is at a much different angle than most bikes. It's much steeper and it's angled down so the outside is much lower. If I could have the look of the stock mirror but half the height, that would be fine. I'm over having to have the integrated turn signals. My flushmounts will work fine for now until I wire some yellow LED's into the fake air intakes.

r6s mirrors not r6 and for pics comparison look at demons bike on pg 3 about mid way down...mine looks the same...also you do have to drill 1 hole on each side seeing as the two pins dont fit in the stock location
quote me if im wrong i thing 06-09 are all the same i used an 09
So I got the R6S mirrors. I must day, these are the mirrors that should have come on the bike from the factory. They look like they belong on the bike, they're just the right height, and they're very good as far as viability. Although you do have to drill an additional hole for one of the posts since they're closer together than the stock mirrors. I'd say the only "issue" is that they don't have turn signals built into them. But I guess nothing is perfect. 
But I think I have the frontal view issues with the turn signals fixed anyways. The flush mounts I have from Lockhart Phillips have never really been very good as far as front visibility. So I bought THESE and mounted them on the underside of the fairing facing forward. You can kind of see them in the pictures. Which is why I mounted then there. Not really noticeable. Once I build a Y harness, I'll have both a front facing signal and the side facing flush mounts. I had my wife check to see if they were visible from the front and she said they were really bright. Better than the lights on the Trojan mirrors.

Do these R6 mirrors fold in? I use the fold in feature on my stock mirrors every day so when I park in my works parking garage I fold in the left mirror and get as close to the wall as possible, and with the wheel locked to the left IMO it would make it VERY difficult to roll away :thumbup:

damn! those mirrors look nice but I really like the fold in feature on the stockers!
I would of never known about it myself but I had my bike delivered to my house when I bought it, and when they were unloading it he bumped the mirror and it bent in and I am thinking OH SH!!TTTT!!!!!!! and he he laughs and says I forgot to mention the mirrors fold in
