I dont like fz6-n's mirror. Becasue it has dead points and it is not easy to adjust... And it looks like a bug antenna...

... What kind of alternatives that we have?

LOL......I kind of agree with ya there. Actually my mirrors are kind of scraped up, and have been looking for some replacements myselt. I was wondering how the R6 mirrors would do?

I'm after some extenders for mine because the standard mirrors are useless unless you like a constant view of your elbow or the sky.

I know everyone says you should look over your shoulder instead (which I do as well) but I like to get a more regular update of what is going on behind me and spend more time looking where I'm going.

What do you think about rizomas?

check out bar end mirrors, a friend of mine has them on his ducati and they look c*cky.

Rizoma's are top notch....they do nice extenders too, but in Australia at least they are hideously expensive, hope that's not the case where you are.

i have some MCS mirrors which look a bit like the more expensive rizoma's, and stick out about 20mm further than the standard fz6 mirrors which means you can actually see behind you, unlike the stock items.

here is a photo of my mirrors, might give you an idea what black mirrors look like, rather than the cruddy stock items.

Rizoma'[s care streets ahead of my $35 mirrors....Rizoma's were going to cost me $255 each...ouch!

Wolfman - where did you get the MCS mirrors - look good and would cure my hatred of the standard ones I have.
Thanks

I actually found them in a Kawasaki dealership, dont know were M.C.S. the company originates, but i did a search on google, and could only find their products on e-bay.

AND I SEARCHED HARD! Maybe you will have better luck if you do a search.

I know that in Australia at least, just about every bike shop has a selection of aftermarket M.C.S. stuff on it's shelves. Hope for your sake it is not just an Aussie company.

Sorry i could not be more help.

cheers for that - will do some searching
