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

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

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

In still amazed you've done so little to the sx, I know you said you wouldn't but....

The mirrors look good, need to see them on the bike really

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

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.

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

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]

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.

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

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

Refund is requested. I paid by paypal so there won't be an issue.

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.

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.

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.
