NC24 - A bit of bling

Thought I would treat Nikki to a Christmas pressie all the way from Taiwan. Hell, for a tenner it seemed worth the risk. So, they've arrived about fifteen minutes ago. Only issue is the bolts aren't quite long enough so I need to dig some out. Just for the photos, I've used a couple of socket screws. The whole thing will look better once she's been resprayed black. They are a universal fitment with adjustable bolt spacing and I think they look pretty good :grin:

They have longer arms so I can see behind me. Once the bike is painted black, they WILL look better, or else :twisted:

Anyhoo, they are CBR600RR mirrors :P

I admit I was originally looking for plain black gloss mirrors but couldn't find any for less than about £35. I quite like these but they do look pants against the red fairings. They won't be prop-erly fitted until I do the re-build anyway. If I don't like them then, I'll get some others and sell these on to a chav :lol:

Agreed, fake carbon sucks big time and i gota be honest im not keen on the style either, i thought you could get mirrors with longer arms for the NC anyway?

Not for the NC24. NC30 or NC35 ones won't fit either.

As for fake carbon, I'll bet most of the bling carbon stuff on your bikes isn't genuine 100% real carbon fibre anyway :P

Probably not, but its definatly not 3m sticky back plastic :grin:

Paint them matt or satin black, you might be able to rescue them
