Trying to use ZX10 2011 Mirror in 250R

muzkur · February 29th, 2012, 04:00 PM

Hi! Now I'm using in my bike that universal trojan mirror with led turn signals but some moron broke my left side.

So I'm thinking about use some new model. The oem ZX10 2011's mirrors are the coolest I can see. But before buy it I need to know, anyone made that adaptation? The bolts have the same length, distance, etc?

Thanks for any help.

I would doubt they would fit the stock holes in the 250 front cowl. Even the Ninja 650's stock mirrors do not fit the 250's hole pattern and that bike is as close to a sister bike I think you can get from Kawi, to the 250r.

Probably best to buy aftermarket mirrors made for the 250!

Do you know any model with integrated led turns signals to recommend?

Yeah, I really like the ZX10 mirrors, was looking at the 08-10 mirrors the other night, but may be a big task to get them on.

I was thinking of trying to find a set of led lights I could add to the stock mirrors, cause I really like the shape and position of the stockers. Maybe you should pick up some OEM mirrors and figure it out for me, haha.

That's what he already had. Anyway, Ninja 400 stuff is the same as Ninja 650 stuff, which is sold here too.

I thinking about it actually.
I just need to figure out how put LEDs in the stocks. Because of that I bought my current mirrors.

uhh, you sure about that? There's been many reports of the 650r mirrors bolting right up. With the longer stalks it's actually a good alternative to mirror extenders.

I have 650 mirrors and love 'em

Yeah, I am wondering if a guy could somehow pop the mirror out and see if its empty inside, then I was thinking of getting some flush mounts and dremel out a hole for them to stick through.
I think the flushmounts Tri sells may work with the stock mirror shape. That or try to use the LEDs out of the ebays mirrors.

muzkur · March 2nd, 2012, 09:47 AM

But we need to figure out a way to put the wires too.
Do you know if is the rod hollow?

EsrTek · March 2nd, 2012, 10:07 AM

The 650 Mirrors I just got have a wider hole pattern than the 250....I heard same thing and why I bought the 650 mirrors.
I don't recall what yr model I bought, I look it up when I get home, but plz list yours if you got 650 mirrors to mount in stock 250 holes...

maybe they've changed them for 2012 models, but I"m pretty sure the 08-11 650r mirrors will work on the 250.

EsrTek · March 2nd, 2012, 03:52 PM

These the ones I found on e-bay..
Seller: TunerX Factory Motor Parts
Part: Black Mirrors KAWASAKI Ninja 650R 2011 NINJA 400R 2011 ER-6F 2009 2010 2011
Bolt patterns do not match up to 250!

Notice my part doesn't say anything about the 650R prior to 2011, must have changed that yr.

Gorilla25 · March 2nd, 2012, 11:13 PM

@EsrTek: thats the ones i ordered. it should be here in a week or so.

i thought you just unbolt the stem from the mounting area and bolt the stem and mirror up to your existing mounting area on your ninjette?...

EDIT: here..my sources:

All you need to do is just remove the stems and everything went together just fine.

from my thread: Mirror Extenders

Yeah, I tried briefly to get them off, but no luck. So, I haven't taken the stems off, I don't have a lot of tools or a vice to set the base in so it doesn't just turn.
May try again to get 650 stems off their wider base, or may just buy the adjustable aftermarket mirrors someone reviewed on this site.

muzkur · March 3rd, 2012, 08:16 AM

Should be a good solution something like AJ post, but with adapter. No new holes, fiting new mirrors.

I see this is an old thread but I figured I'd give you guys a heads up that I'm working on the original idea that you guys had. New thread is located here.
