Look harder.....

Aha, fantastic. Thanks for that, I was searching specifically for 'ROCA', which is the brand listed in the howto's, I think this must be the same one.

Shame I can't find any for sale on there own. I think I'm set on trying to get a 2nd hand pair of gixxer indicator/mirrors to fit.

Not sure if I can warrant another £40 and the additional blinkers in the lamps just to get a hold of the blanking plates. It might be a bit of overkill too, too many flashing lights might trigger a traffic light disco or something...

You don't have to wire the indies into the headlights but that is what most people normally do hence them selling a kit to do it

If you don't mind spending some serious cash you could get Rizoma mirrors. Or you could figure out a way to get new GSXr mirrors to mount. I'm trying to do this myself.

Wow, those rizoma's are a bit trick, but the sports model look a bit disjointed for a faired bike:

Still no joy on finding the blanking plates sold separately, my google searches have started returning this thread as the number 3 hit, wwhich is telling me something I think.

I might just mail banditmania and ask if they sell them separately.

Don't even bother wasting your phonecall or your breath / email or whatever. I already asked the same question and the response amounted to "we only sell them as part of the kit - are you stupid or something?" Anyway, customer service was not the impression that I came away with....

Yeah, Blandit mania are renowned for having a terrible customer service.

Good news! Just received my lovely perfect condition gsx-r mirrors.
Bad news! They don't rotate around the base hinge, so they're useless

The only bit that move on them is actually the glass of the mirror, all the housing is solid and unadjustable.

Grrr!

Unless I can come up with some easy fix, I think they'll be going back on ebay.

when you say useless .. how?

If the GSRX ones fitted, we'd all be fitting them. I did see some mirrors with or without indicators which fitted 650s on a dutch site, but they are very similar to the ones in the Busters catalogue.
If I can find the site again, I'll post the link
