FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

hi guys, i have a zxr400 and i want to fit white mirrors to it, but i cant find any in stock anywhere for less than £120 for the pair!

so i dont think that these would look too bad from a fzr 600 (they are round, whereas the zxr ones are square, but i can always re-sell if i dont like them in a few months).

but as the seller wont accept messages, i would like to know the following please:-
are they aftermarket parts, and do the originals look like this?
do they use 2 bolts to affix to the front nosepiece or 1?
if they use 2, what is the mounting distance?
and do the mirrors have screw threads attached, or do they have inserts, and you screw them to the nosepiece with a seperate bolt (if you get me - the picture seems to suggest that the mirrors dont have screw threads attached)?
what is the approximate length from where the mirror attaches to the nosepiece, to where the ball joint (that you use to angle the mirror) is?
and lastly, what is the width of the glass bit of the mirror?

thanks guys!

Here's a link to another ebay seller offering some very similar mirrors (probably the same ones) with all the dimensions listed.

Bannner; Use the original mounts for the Kawasaki and unbolt the head and stem from the Yamaha replacements, otherwise you have to widen the spacing between the fixing holes on the nosecone and stay to fit the complete head.As you guessed,the Kwak has studs incorporated;the Yam has countersunk, seperate screws and dome nuts.(not included)
The aftermarket Yam comes with a rubber boot that covers the mount,it's too large for the kwak mount though.
Beware; these are called "Micky mouse" mirrors, not because they look like mouse's ears but because of the view they afford.
You get an excellent view of your elbows,
They are a reasonable copy of the originals.
The stems are about 30 mm shorter that zxr mirrors.

cheers guys for the informative responses, hmm 3cm shorter than the zxr ones, and with my 54" chest i already have a good view of my elbows

also my current ones are black so i cant change the bottom of the mounts over...bugger!

my zxr400, even though its my commuter bike, is almost back to standard (ive got a black carbon can to replace the damaged black steel original), got some damaged plastics and a few bits of wear to the paintwork...i really like the look of white mirrors but they are so expensive brand new im not impressed at having to buy some, but it sure will look nice when its done

Just repaint the base mounts.

its for my near-mint condition bike, so it will be proper or not at all

And what pray tell, do you think the original finish is on mirror bases ?
Just spend £120 on a pair of genuine ones..

Those aftermarket FZR mirrors are probably the same as the ones from yambits.co.uk which I got for about the same money as the ebay ones.

They are 'ok' but not the same quality as the originals, E.G the originals have ally (i think) base mounts. The copies come with white rubber boots, but I've swapped the correct black boots over from the old mirrors.

The standard finish is again 'ok', a sort of dull plasticky matt white- i've resprayed mine.
