Good place to buy?(mirror extender)

Wade · May 1st, 2009, 01:48 AM

Hey guys i finally got my BLACK '09 250r (will postpicks up this weekend when i get some daylight hours to take pics) and after riding it for a bit i have one thing that bugs me that i want to fix.
I seem to be seeng more of my arms in the mirrors than the cars behind me and i would like to get some extenders to help my viewing angle.
i have found some here
http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade...view/2516/139/

and was wondering if they are a reputable site / if anyone knows any other places that sell these?
Im also after a good place to buy.

Zero Gravity Bubble windscreen
Pazzo Levers
Rear wheel stand (the right one for 250r)
Black rear seat cowl (good quality)
Good / easy to install fender eliminator
Clear tank protector

So if anyone knows where would sell most of those things so i can make one big order (make things easier) please let me know.
Thanks

A lot of sport touring folk get stuff from TT. Reputable site from what I've heard on several forums.

If my web access at home wasn't dead I'd show you how to make extenders for cheap that look real nice. I used to fab them for the 5th gen VFRs, but then 3 kids got in the way, errr, took more of my time.

wade, that is where i got my mirror extenders also. i am happy with the service. one of my bolts were defective. i told them about it and they 2 day aired another set of bolts. the only thing i didn't like is that they don't ship usps as an option... at least not to hawaii.

as far as the zero gravity windscreen, here is where i got mine from. http://www.zgoutlet.com/

it arrived quickly and i was happy with the service. i told kkim about it and i think he ended up buying it from the same place. strange thing is that mine didn't come with the "zero gravity" stickers. that is ok, because i put a custom sticker on mine and i think it looks better.

edit: just re-read your last line. no, i don't know a place they sell both of these items.

as far as the good/easy to install fender eliminator.... how about a great quality/crappy instructions/expensive/moderately involved fender eliminator? i have one and love it. best one i have seen so far... sort of biased. http://www.rg-racing.com/browseBike/.../LP0071BK.aspx

Agree about the RandG tail tidy - well good looking but a pain to fit and rubbish instructions!

Mirror extenders are worth their wieght in gold BTW so that will be money well spent

Ken · May 1st, 2009, 05:19 PM

Thank you for the link. I placed an order. If I can rep you I would.

Sound Wave · May 1st, 2009, 08:15 PM

oh, btw. not that it was hard to do or anything, but here is a diy i posted a little while ago on how to install it.

You can purchase a set of 2011 600,650, or ZX6R mirrors. I purchased a pair direct from Shanghai on EBAY for $55 ($45 +10 shipping). The mirrors have the wide area to the outside (instead of the inside) and they have longer stems. The installation is easy , simply unbolt the EX250 mirror and reuse the mounting bolts (adding one washer from the new mirrors) put the longer mirror on the EX250 mount. I was able to reuse the Black rubber bolt hole covers that hide the hex key screw. The shipping time from China was about 10 days.

kaiserz · July 24th, 2011, 07:54 PM

$55 for two? how's the quality? that'll be awesome if can you get some pics.

Fleshbazbo · July 24th, 2011, 08:19 PM

I will ride it tomorrow and see if they vibrate.

awesome, I'll wait for your review, and then I might get one for myself if i get any money

Fleshbazbo · July 25th, 2011, 07:04 AM

OMG...OMG...OMG... It is so nice to be able to see what is behind me again. So far this is the cheapest solution so far and at a glance, it makes the 250 look more like a 650. Just had to switch the mirror stems from 650 mount to the 250 mount (1 bolt) and add one washer.

kaiserz · July 25th, 2011, 06:51 PM

dude, if you can get pics that'll be awesome!

Otter · July 25th, 2011, 07:05 PM

I have the mirror extensions in the link posted by the OP, from twisted throttle.

solid, easy to install, no more vibration than stock, nice company, and a HUGE improvement

nakedhunter · July 27th, 2011, 08:32 AM

Hey Dave, Wondering if these were more horizontal than the originals?
According to the ebay specs they are only half inch longer than 250 stock stems.
I went with the OEM Kawa 650R mirrors that had 3 inches extra - I can see behind me fantastic but they are pretty long stemmed if you are used to the 250 especially since the 650R replacements are considerably more horizontal on the bike over the 250 mirror.
Both the OEM and the ebay have the much better designed mirror which makes a world of difference too over those 250 things...
I don't understand why they ever put those mirrors on the 250, they seemed to have known better with the bigger bikes.

Where did you get the 650r mirrors and for how much? Do you have any pics?

nakedhunter · July 28th, 2011, 06:20 AM

Hi, (There was another thread going about miirors : http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=71865 the first pic there shows the diff between 3 inch 250 and 6 inch 650 mirrors)
I got my 650R kawa (2009-2011) OEMs at ecrator.com - both mirrors for $100 (compared to the cost of just the extenders it was a pretty good price)
http://www.ecrater.com/p/8976783/kaw...-650r-er6f-oem
http://www.ecrater.com/p/8976192/kaw...-650r-er6f-oem

No pics of them on but I probably can a couple today. Should have done a before/after.... the ecrator.com photo shows them on a 650 so nothing like the horizontal look of them on the e250.

Fleshbazbo · July 28th, 2011, 04:34 PM

They are the ZX6R replacement style and mount almost horizontal, only one inch longer than the original mirror. I guess the main benefit is the mirror is turned around so the wide part is to the outside (and you can get a pair for $55). Sorry I can not get a picture up my camera is still in Amsterdam with my Daughter.

Pictures of ZX6R mirrors on an EX250.
