Default mirror broke on 07 cbr600rr

ah! parked at school and got caught too tight between 2 scooters, couldn't wedge it out and dropped it, and knocked my mirror clean off. i guess i have a couple options, but i just wanted to get some opinions from you guys. Eventually i wanted to flush mount the turn signals, but i saw that they have mirrors with the signals on them on ebay, but they looked kinda cheap. I was wondering if you guys knew of any good looking turn signal mirrors or if it would prolly just look better with the stock mirrors and just flush mount the signals. also i gotta look around for some good prices, so any suggestions with good places to look is really appreciated!

Which side did you drop it down on? ... I have a spare left side mirror I'd be willing to give up pretty cheap.

Sorry to hear that though.

keep the stock mirrors. They are better quality than aftermarket. Also, aftermarket are usually shorter and do not function as good as OEM.

The OEM mirrors give you the best rear view, but I personally don't like the "lady bug" type look they give the bike...I got a pair of carbon fiber race mirrors off ebay last summer for like $30 and had them on my old F4i and they were just fine and looked much better than OEM...the thing is you have to use a wrench to adjust them because the pivot points are that ball/socket type joint that is tightened down with a nut.

well thanks for the help and offers. i ended up just buying a basic replica off of ebay, looked exactly the same as OEM but was $20. i also ended up buying some xenon replica bulbs, and the flush mount turn signals for the front end. now if i can just do the fender elim.
