Hello does anybody know where to get different mirrors for the FZ6R? I think ones with shorter stems would be legit make the mirrors closer to the bike.

Also found out Proton flushmount turn signals are now available for the FZ6R at HighTechSpeed.com

Thanks

Those look real good, plus the option to choose between blinker type normal/fade in-out/strobe is real nice. But $100 bucks is a bit much for something that is purely cosmetic IMO.

New to the forum, though not to riding...40 yrs on two wheelz and going strong. I have been doing crazy mad internet searching for mirrors for this bike and am coming up fairly empty. The dealership has a few options...may have to do it. Ones on it have to go!

Removing stock Mirrors?

Start by reading these two threads. You will get a better idea of what is out there and how people like them.

I got the Proton flushmounts...and yes $99. I chose this over the regular flushmounts found in EBay. I've seen a couple of R6s with these and they don't look visible in the front at all. The Protons are so much better as far as visibility! $99 is a bit much for cosmetic, but it makes up for the safety factor!

You mean they are more conspicuous than the original ones that come from the factory? If yes please take some pics, a video will be even better.

I don't think any of the flushmounts are more conspicuous than the OEM signals. I'm just saying that the Protons are more visible than the other flushmounts.

Vids look like normal effect, but I actually wired it to do strobe effect. I think it has something to do with me just recording on my iPhone.

That looks pretty good. Thanks for taking the time and record and post that.
