mirrors for Ninja 500R

06Ninja · 01-22-2006

I have read that you can switch your stock mirrors with zx6 mirrors which will let you see more than you arm. My question is what year zx6 mirrors will fit my 06? I see a lot of aftermarket mirrors on ebay are some better than others should I stay away from some brands?

One of the best mods I made on mine, I can see more then my elbows now (I can see what is behind me). 98 - 01 ZX-6R mirrors are a direct replacement, just bolts right up.

Here they are on mine.

Thanks, DriverDown, Are they factory or aftermarket. What should I expect to pay for a set?

Well, mine are OEM, bought them off Ebay. A lot of people I talk too have had good luck with the Emgo brand ones. Price, somewhere aroung $25.00 - $40.00 a pair.
