Bar end mirrors? Oh yeah!

First Quote: LOL, I think that your brain is just fine...anything that distorts can have strange effects on people. My brother can't play first person shooter games because the re-created "walking" motion makes him sick. Go figure! And yes...I do know where to ask for what other people have done...

Second Quote: Okay, maybe I was a little quick to make judgement on my first impressions of the Z1's perfection--but I wasn't off by much. You're a very bad influence; you know, at first I wasn't going to look at the Z1 forum because I didn't know what to expect. If I would've known, I probably would've run for the hills!

i chose mine because i have a hard time seeing through(i remember now) "convex" mirrors.
really screws with my head on the bike.

i love the look,but i can't see too well with them.
no i don't need glasses,just a better brain.

so far as the original stock mount ports.
i still have not found a replacement part to fit in that spot.
although recently i did see a selection of chrome bolts at "ace hardware" that may be able to help in that matter.
not sure if yours have the same bolt pattern,but there are plenty of guys that could lead you in the right direction......you know where!!

Yeah, if you get a Z1 you definitely should pick up a some bar end mirrors while you're at the dealership and put them on after you go straight home from the dealership. I wouldn't even bother taking a first ride with the stock mirrors on if you're planning to put bar end ones.

Hey fretbuzz...are you reading this (hint, hint)?

You know, I always thought the exhaust was stupidly ugly, but they aren't as bad in person. I'd still get aftermarket CF cans, though.

If you find out where to get little covers for the original mirror holes, let me know. I know they have them for the ZX10R and you can get them to say "ZX" and whatnot.
