deltaboxii

I didn't spend a million dollars, but if I could do it over again I would buy a 2016 RSV4 RF Factory vs. all of the time and money on my Gen 5.5. As much as I love it, it's still not going to outperform the Aprilia.

Manufacturing is never as easy as it looks! thanks for staying with it and trying to get the price down.

How many do we need again to get this going?

If it will help get the overall price of these mirror mounts down...I say go for it and post it up over there!

I think the trick to get more interest is to keep this topic bubbling at the top. These GSXR mirrors look great on our VFRs, hope this happens (someday).

Congrats Seb! That's an incredible achievement, and justly deserved!

Hey Greg any update on the mirror mounts?

Darth apparently has not been on this site in a very long time. That is why Greg took over the project to have the mounts made. I believe that the 2006/ 2007 ish GSXR mirrors can be used for these mounts, but I am not 100% sure.

I am sure that you will be able to move at least 50 of them, it may take a year though! Even at over $100 I am still interested in one set for the 6th and hopefully a set for the 5th gen.

3) Deltaboxii for a 6th gen and a 5th gen. And if they are really good and the price isn't ridiculous, I am going to buy a second set for each because these lil buggers have been the hardest pieces to get for my upgrades and I would hate to ever have to find them again if needed. so i might as well buy a second set right?

Well said. I had a feeling that this was the case when we had not heard back in awhile. Maybe it was a blessing that the delay happened to perfect the design!!! And although the news is disappointing I appreciate the honesty and your never say die attitude! Thanks brother!

As promised here are some pics of the ZX6R mounts with the GSXR mirrors.

I like those mirror mounts. That's a good looking VFR, but would look a bit better with the stock turn signals removed/ De-dumbo'ed. A bit redundant!

Taking the hybrid 5.5 back to stock stopped being an option about the time the old subframe came off and I put the 6th gen on! I will try to get some good pics of the mirrors and mounts so you can see what I did to mount them.

I will try to get some video of them. The mods have already been done so I am not sure what the differences are from stock. I don't think I ever had the Gixxer mirror mounts anyways just the mirrors themselves. I believe that we discussed this before. One other downside that I forgot to mention, and why I think ultimately some did not like the Ninja mounts, was that the wire for the signal had to be routed through the fairing (tiny hole drilled). Its really not that noticeable, and doesn't bother me. But I think it would some, not quite as sano as the darth bling mounts. So far the pressure washer seems to be working...crossing fingers... more "quality Indiana road" riding needed to know for sure

Good points Nate. Now that I have my bike back together and the GSXR mirrors installed, I have noticed the same issue. The mirrors actually fall forward! One would think that they would move back with wind/ acceleration, but they flop forward. I have been tightening them down as much as I can but I am scared of the mount (which is a Ninja 6R of some year) snapping. Today I installed a pressure washer hoping that this would add the correct amount of friction. If the 8th Gen VFR or even CBR mirrors can be used instead, that might be worth looking at. So far I can say that here are the pro's/ cons of the Gixxer mirrors: Pros: Better rear view/ wider and sit higher Turn signal integration is nice- was able to "de dumbo" the 5th gen that they are on Clear Cons: Still somewhat dated looking even after installing LED bulbs vs. the stock bulbs not that much adjustability Dont fold in easily like the standard VFR mirrors difficult to tighten down- might snap the mount The mirrors proved to be one of the more difficult mods on my project bike. I was hoping that these mounts will work better than the Ninja mounts that I am currently using and solve most of the "cons" above!

Amen! Thanks for staying on it Greg.
