There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I borrowed race reps z1000 with all the mods while mine was in for a new front tyre (dunlop qualifier) and 24000 service, the z1000 had bar end mirrors and were as useful as tits on a bull, they were magnified and made the car behind u feel like it was up ur arse on the road when it was actually 3 car lengths behind, best thing is to do the exorcist and rotate ur head the full 360 lmfao
Looking for people to ride with in my area or somewhere close.

Re: 04/05 ZX10R use of mirrors
That's what i do, open the elbows out a little and look through the middle, but it's hard when you are going fast so I use the good old head turn.MadKaw wrote:Nope, I lift up my arm and look under it.. theres never usually anyone that close to see though...duncanZX10R wrote:Any owners of ZX10Rs that have mastered the art of positioning their mirrors so they can see behind them as opposed to a great view of their elbow... (note sometimes rear view mirrors are useful, ie: to spot cars looking for bonnet emblems while you're waiting at a set of lights)

There was one on the box recently that used mirrors through the top of the helmet & has had years or research & $$$ poured into it... but they recon it has paid off & will start selling soon.hidepenny wrote:i normally learn to either left or rite to see what's behind me, but there're helmet with rear views out there
i think it's a camera with a display inside the helmet
The final mirror sits at the top of your visor would be about 1/2" deep
The image was crystal clear!
Personally i think that would be a friggin distraction

Got any pics of these 180ed mirrors?half_empty1 wrote:i put this mod on http://www.zx-10r.net a while ago
unbolt the original mirror, turn the stem 180 degrees then refit it,
the mirror now sits slightly higher than standard, so its above your elbows and can be angled to see more of whats behind you,
ive done a few rides out now with my mirrors like this and i think its loads better than they were,
give it a try, if you dont like it, just turn them around again
or buy these extenders http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/pr ... /2516/309/
or ive read cbr929 and suzuki gs500f (must be the f model) mirrors also work
Opinions are like 1098's, everyones got one.
