ITS NICE TO SEE SOME PEOPLE LIKE MY MIRROR MODS AND SOME DON"T BUT REASON I DID THIS IS THAT I HATE MIRRORS AND I HATE INDICATORS SO TO HAVE THEM TOGETHER IS NOT SO BAD AND MY BLADE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE OR GO LIKE A GOLDWING. THE MOD WAS NOT EASY I HAD TO MODIFY THE FAIRING BRACKET AND ELONGATE THE HOLES IN THE FAIRING. I HAD TO TAKE OUT THE FIXING STUDS OUT OF THE GIXER MIRRORS THESE ARE LOCTITED IN ONE SNAPPED. THEN HAD TO DRILL OUT AND RE-TAP. THEN I SPLIT THE MIRROR BODY FROM THE STEM BY THE 2 BOLTS THE M6 BOLT WAS THEN REFITTED USING A TAPERED TUBULAR SPACER. YOU ARE THEN LEFT WITH A SMALL GAP TO FILL I USED A FLEXIBLE FILLER TO COPE WITH THE VIBRATIONS THEN MASKED OFF THE MIRROR AND SPRAYED THE FILLER. THE GIXER FAIRING HAS A GREATER UPSWEPT ANGLE COMPAIRED TO THE BLADE SO IF YOU DON"T DO THIS MOD THEY WILL DROOP DOWN. WHERE I LIVE IN THE U.K THEY GET A LOT OF ATTENTION AT BIKE MEETS. AND NO ONE HAS SAID THEY DO NOT LIKE THEM. THEY WHERE A BITCH TO DO BUT IF YOU CAN"T BUY PARTS TO YOUR LIKING OFF THE SHELF THEN THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.

 

Very inventive, not exactly my cup of tea, but definitely solves the problem. I am simply going to do the carbon fiber mirrors with my flush mounts

 

OK AZ1000RR NO PROBS SEND US SOME PICS WHEN YOUR DONE THANX

 

they look good , im from uk too by the way , you can buy new gixxer mirrors off ebay for £40 odd quid for the pair brand new now , but not sure if i like them enough to risk damaging my bike ........ where in uk you from ?
