Mirrors

I've always had mirrors on my bikes and never knew how much I used them until now. My zx6rr I bought few months ago came without them and it's driving me crazy can't keep looking back. Was looking at mirrors on eBay but don't know if any of them are any good. If anyone has opinions on good aftermarket mirrors please let me know. No pig spotters and handle bar clip ons. THANX

Ya I I've been hauling ass in AZ the past couple days and never know if the man is behind me plus I'm use to checking mirrors after passing cars keeping track who's around. Seems like with no mirrors is causes me to go even faster that way I don't have to worry whats coming from behind. I need mirrors but don't want to buy cheap ones that shake and fall also dont want big elephant ears for mirrors.

I wouldn't go the ebay ones from China... Bought some a little while back for my R6, they look alright but don't seem to hold positioning too well, as soon as I got over 120km/h they would fold themselves in from the wind resistance

That's what I was worried about my buddy with a cbr told me the same thing. I dunno might have to fork over the 120 dollars for some good ones seen some from Italy that seemed good but they were up there in price. Guess you get what you pay for.

No they are the same size as those. I'm pretty sure the Emgo Carbon fiber mirrors are the same as guess they don't look bad. I dunno I'm lost I need to see behind me but......really feel like I'm being mind fucked wish I could post pics off of some of the ones I like but it doesn't work off of I pad. How do the bar end mirrors work I heard you can't see shizt.
