Kawasaki zx6r mirrors

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Okay, so I went ahead and jumped on this, I got them on and rode for like 2 hours, I like the new look, but functionally wise, I would have to say no comment so far. I'm gonna try and bend the bars so I can get more visibility out of it. but I think it's good, quality wise.

Taking pictures tomorrow

Keep us updated. I myself am still looking for an option that allows me to see a bit more in our mirrors. I just don't care for the "extenders" look...

Okay guys here are some pics and my verdict.
I actually loved it now that it's more of a farkle and actually usable. I can see much better now compared to the old OEM not-useable mirrors.
I love the new look, but functionality wise I would have to say that those extender things will do a much better job (I haven't seen one in person or used one, so I might be wrong)
But If I have the right tools to bend this sucker I would say it's gonna be a very huge improvement and will be up to par with the extender things.

Ok here are the pics

comparison with the old mirror.




New look


I tried bending it and smashing the main stem or whatever you call them but the quality of this thing is superb that it didn't bunch, So what I did, is I tried bending the whole body or socket the one encircled and it did bent a lil and was a huge improvement.


Overall I'm happy with this thing

That is a hell of a good price! I picked up some 650r mirrors (used) and they look the same as yours. Way better than stock

yeah that's the cheapest I saw online, and the best thing is they're here in the US so I didn't have to wait 2 weeks for it to come.

I think those are the same aftermarket ones that usually sell shipped from Asia on Ebay. (Nice job finding a US seller, I hate waiting too.) I think they are shorter than the actual OEM ones, but I'm not sure.

The mirror in the pic below seems to be the best solution. You won't find a pair of them for less than $100 though, more than likely.

I'm gonna try and drop by the kawa dealer when I get a day off and do a comparison on the OEM vs the ones that I got from ebay.
