Re: Project ZX6R
You need to get it like the George white special you had. That was a nice bike with some tidy extras fitted.

Re: Project ZX6R
That had about £1200's worth of bling on it. Probably more. Even the bar ends were Akraprovic.

Re: Project ZX6R
The new mirrors. They look plastic in these photos but they're metal. Fully adjustable.

Re: Project ZX6R
I know you like your bling but didn't know if the last ones were damaged or similar.

Re: Project ZX6R
No, I've got a brand new set with the white plastics. They're currently on the bike. I'll swap them over this week and see what they look like.
The rizoma grips are on but I need to tweak the cables as there's too much play in the throttle.

Re: Project ZX6R
I like 'em. The look well made and anything with great function wins for me.

Re: Project ZX6R
I like the look of the new mirrors Kwacky. Must update us when you have put them on the bike [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Re: Project ZX6R
The mirrors don't fit. The holes are about 1mm out which is putting pressure on the fairing. I reckon it'll crack over time.
I'm not going to risk a nose cone for some mirrors.

Re: Project ZX6R
Wise decision Kwacky. Bloody aftermarket kits never fit perfectly do they. Makes you wonder where they get their bloody measurements from!!

Re: Project ZX6R
What make are the mirrors ? That's shouldn't have happened. Trust you can get an exchange or refund.

Re: Project ZX6R
If it's just 1mm couldn't you slighty slot the holes in the nose cone, it'll be only 1/2 mm on each hole so almost unnoticeable with mirrors removed, and fitted the mirror fittings will cover it all anyways?
But I'd only bother if you really like the mirrors.

Re: Project ZX6R
I prefer not to start messing around with the plastics. The mirrors were sold as zx6r mirrors so the seller can sort the problem out.

Re: Project ZX6R
Kwacky I have no idea how much you paid for the original item but are these any good ?
I get all my Rizoma stuff from MSR and they normally always offer at least 10-15% disocunt.
