No more rabbit ears! MIRRORS MIRRORS

Mounting hole cover kit?

Greetings all, I am going bar end mirriors on mine, I like the low profile look. Does anyone know of a kit to close up the factory holes and make them flush and properly colored? I've tried googling it with no luck.

I'm either going to seal up the factory boots (black silicone to cover holes and make sure no rust results) once the mirrors are removed or go to a fiberglass/ carbon fab specialist and have them make custom caps. Either of these are less desirable than made to fit flush kits. Since it's a Raven the boots left in place won't be an eyesore, just more of a nuisance to my OCD for cleanliness.

Thanks everyone.

The few that have taken the mirrors of have opted to use flush mount turn signals to block off the holes. You could get smoked ones and you wouldn't really have to wire them up if you didn't want to.

That's what I would do if I went bar ends. You could use block off plates from an R6 or something. Might have to make them fit similar to how we had to make the R6 mirrors fit.

Thanks, I did order the flush turn signal kit today and didn't even think about that. If they're the right size it will be a great way to retain the ability to revert to factory if I ever decide to see it. Awesome idea guys.

I saw a bike the other day with a 3" LCD and a rear view cam. Kind of cool.

I bought everything in USA because here in Brazil haven´t nothing like this.

Yeah, I ended up just leaving it blank. On the Raven Fizzers, at least mine, you can't even see the holes thanks to Yamaha doing a great job painting the fairings. I love how the bar ends look on there and the convex shape allows me to see right up to my own tail.

Hi all, has anybody tried these mirrors before? Not sure if they will fit on the XJ6S (Diversion).

i'd like to pick up the pig-spotter mirrors at some point, but i do honestly like the stock mirrors for their visibility. Not sure if they would require modification to mount, but I'm pretty sure i've seen an FZ6R around here with them installed.

Yeah, and he could see anything at all with the pig spotters. Here's one guys pics: http://www.600cc.org/forum/f89/mods-so-far-19090/

Thanks man, I worked hard for this!

Looks great man.
I live in CA and we split lanes. I do barely touch a mirror once in a while if it's a tight squeeze and the little extra width on the bars would make my ride a whole lot more dangerous.
Looks great tho....

How did you get the stock mirrors off?

Sawzall! :justkidding:

You have to remove the plastics on the inner side of the fairing on either side of the speedo. Two nuts underneath.

Ha I just relized that there were mutiple pages on the bottom right. Now I'm seeing alot more hahah

Thanks Moto for the info. Those do look a lot better. I'm waiting to see the integrated turn signal ones on the bike before I mod.

Man I Just Got these and already took them off! They are really cool looking but they are absolute lightweight cheap junk. The mirrors move when doing more than 60 or 70 mph. They don't give enough rear and side lane vision. The rotating adjustment joint has barely any range of motion. The install was easy but I felt like I was going to crack them the whole install. I should have known when I pulled them out of the box and they were all scratched and cheap lite plastic that they weren't for me.

Just my 50 cents...

They look really good but thats about it. I am all for making our bikes look nice but not at the risk of safety. My buddy ordered them from a different site and got the same exact cheapo mirrors that I got from ebay. The rear view is terrible. You have to head check 100% of the time because these mirrors move so easily and their range of motion is marginal in the first place. The stocks are back on and are much more reliable. Our bikes are made for a more upright, comfortable riding position. These made me have to hunch down to try to see. If I wanted to be hunched and stretched over my tank, I would have bought another super sport.
