    I was looking at doing this before my track day. not I have lossesed them to put a new screen on but any difficulties before I try and remove them? i'm going to get some blankers ( anyone recommend a place?)

    just thinking how easy is it to disconnect the wires

    thought I would ask before I try

    Very easy to disconnect the wires 5 mins at most, I have some home made mirror blanks which you can see in the Caldwell Park pics in my profile, your welcome to borrow them, I could post them up to you if you PM your details, obviously I would need them back :)

    Or the only company I know doing them are Rizoma

    CarpiMoto - Rizoma mirror hole Caps for Honda CBR 1000 RR 08-

    which are very nice :) comes to £32 from them :) hope this helps

    They are nice, at the time no one did blank plates for the blade so my mate threw these together for me just to hold the fairing, I think I may have to invest in some of those for the next trackday look a lot neater :) although my ones did the job just need to be thinner

    It would be nice if there was a company that did a smaller neater version of what we have i know it would restrict the rear view a touch but when i look at the bike front on its the mirrors that spoil it .ps sorry for nipping in with this .

    ^^^^ Agreed ^^^^

    I was reading a thread on the KTM SD forum where a guy had fitted a rear camera and screen to the bike and got rid of the mirrors looked good but very expensive and less room on the blade to do it.

    There are those rear view helmets which let you see behind which would allow for the mirror removal as they are not required for MOT.

    Or the mirrors on the bar ends but again restricted view, I have been pondering what you could do to tidy up the front end ??
