just ordered a set of adhesive adjustable blinbd spot mirrors from e bay,thinking the same that they may obscure my main mirrors on my zzr as the mirrors arn't as big as the gtr's  i like debs mirrors how do they attatch and do you think they would go the zzr   cheers  keith

I have the same ones as Debs, and they are excellent, however, if you get them, make sure the mirror is pushed hard against the backing plate as one wasnt stuck that well and fell off and I was sent a replacement straight away.
However I think they are great for spotting those cars that creep up on you.

Hi Keith,

they will not fit to the ZZR,

Bought some off fleabay, and they fitted very quickly and work well, the lenses aren't super quality, but as an extra to the usual life saver and mirror checks they are worth having.
BE KIND...

hi conman thanks for that i had a feeling they wouldn't i have bought a cheap pair of rotating  bling spot adhesive mirrors off e bay,i didn't think they would be much good but i was pleaently surprised,you still see you shoulder in them when riding, but whilst riding i found that when a car was  coming to overtake and it went out of view  of my bike mirrors, it is still clearly visible in my blind spot mirrors  so although they were cheap they are doing there job. cheers

"car overtaking"! Surely not :ohplease:
Be Careful Out There!

 i was letting the cars overtake me,so i could see if the mirrors were doing there job,which they are ,makes me feel a bit safer.

I get a lot of cars overtaking me, in fact I get a lot of pedal cycles overtaking me. Ask Asif!! :ohplease:

Blind spot mirrors!!!!!!Cars overtaking.!!!!!!! Humbug!!!!!!!!!Come and live in the Dales. There are no cars, take a road, any road there will NEVER  be a car overtaking. Bah, anyhow when I wer a lad on my BSA bantam a blind spot mirror was known as a neck, you turned it to see behind. The worlds gone mad, heaven help us, we are all doomed, the end of the world is nigh.  :helpsmilie: :taz: :angry: :sad: :gun_bandana: :hammer: :no: :2guns: :censored: :censored: :censored:       :whistling:

Geoff you are a wag.......... :mfr_lol:

Mind you blind spot mirrors come into their own on the Motorway, Autobahn etc...but that's not somewhere that you would be seen so I guess that they wouldn't be of any use to you me olde chum  :mfr_lol:

I have a pair of mirrors the same as Debs (her photo). Readily available on fleabay and I find them very useful, plus they are easily attached without any drilling or modification of the original mirrors.



also got a pair of these. rode with them once and one of the mirrors came unstuck so havent used them again (easy to fit/unfit), not sure i liked everyone laughing at me with them fitted anyhow.
getting there........
