You're missing a windscreen........I hope screen less is not the look your going for.
On the other hand I like the low look to the mirrors. Not trying to be a dick but shouldnt this topic be in the 929 or sights n sounds section?

I have pig spotter 2's and they are somewhat functioning. The mirrors are adjustable on those gixxer mirrors......a little tinkering and he should be fine.

yea thanks man i love em... once i get my intake covers back on i may lower my bars a bit because the mirrors are so low profile my hands get awefully close to the mirrors... either do that or ill just buy some mirror risers and thatll fix the problem

and actually man the gsxr mirrors are fully adjustable like the mirror itself can rotate in any direction, i sat on it and set it all up and i have perfect visibility...

the ones i got i made sure were high quality they were from hk but they have a very nice gloss finish and have fully aluminum shafts so i shouldnt have any vibration problems...

Careful with copyin it to multiple places Z. They kinda frown on that. Thats pretty sweet if they work man. Mine had been dropped on both sides and the PO took the screws out and ran them in from the backside like set screws because they broke off at the bottom of the stem. I took them off, grinded some flats and drilled a hole for the screw and put them back on right. They're about an inch and a half shorter but they look pretty good. They're about worthless for function though. The best I can get is a picture of my chest and arm. They're not too bad if I lift my arm and look through my armpit though :P

Oh i can agree with you on that. The 954/929 section is dead. I think myself and Conrice are somewhat keeping the 954 section alive. You might be frowned on but hey you cant please everybody. With the windscreen I got mine for like 35 off ebay.
