Just had to remove a grip to put on a mirror mount on the bar and found this to be amazingly helpful. It still requires some effort to work the grip off but this really helps break it loose so you can reuse it.

Wanted something that was way smaller yet used the stock signals as i like their shape.
Great customer support and communication. Shipping was super fast, i ordered after business hours on the 5th and got my kit on the 8th. I am in oregon which is pretty close to Motogiro but still great shipping speed.
Kit was super easy to install, everything was clearly labeled and the...
oh oh so you mean just directly on the end of the handlebar hmm wonder if you can get slightly shorter grips... either way ill play around with it this weekend, just ordered my fZ16 kit and waiting to hear back from my guy about fz1 bars but i may just get them from dgy.com for like 40 shipped lol
1) Ok so they have some weight plus the wight of the mirror wouldn't be enough?
2) so this is what you ment to mount the mirrors to using the stock bar ends?
would they still go into the bars far enough?
So i am going to order my FZ16 kit this week along with some FZ1 bars and i really want to get some kind of bar end mirrors, do i need to find a bar end weight that will accommodate a mirror to replace the stock one or what other options do i have?
I am looking at this style of mirror...
found these on ebay if you are interested, im also looking at bar end mirrors to use once i get my fz1 bar.

I thought i saw a fender eliminator that used the stock signals but moved them way closer but now i cant find it. Is this what you used? it kinda looks like if from the side view.
PM sent... really want this kit after reading all these posts and would love to try out the extra light before i by my FZ16 kit. Going to throw my PIA bulb in the single headlight though.
I have been wanting to get this kit but life has gotten in the way but i am finally going to be getting this kit within the next month and your info was very helpful, glad it worked out for you.
Awesome cuz i am really needing new bars, at 6'5" the pull back of the stock bars has been annoying the hell out of me. Soon as you try em out if all is well ill order em from the same place.
which year bars are you guys looking at for the FZ1? I looked up 05 which is the year of my FZ6 and the FZ1 bars look almost the same and they are like 80 from bikebandit.com hmm
I contacted the seller and he says that shipping to the US is available and the total would come to about $308 for the mixed kit with all wiring and balasts + shipping.
Going to score some xenon bulbs until i decide to pull the trigger on the HID projectors lol.
Good find though on the mix...
Just wanted to say hello to the forums and to all FZ6 riders in the PDX area.
Just got my 05 FZ6 friday evening and love it, took it for a short ride down the I-5 a bit but nothing to long cant wait to get out and ride this weekend.
