: Aftermarket replacements?
z4bike 10-11-2011, 02:20 PM Instead of going OEM as far as replacing scratched-up or damaged items, am looking into mods or aftermarket products that would replace the following, what do you guys recommend?
- Front mirrors: LED integrated mirrors (under $50 if possible)?
- Rear turning signals: is there nice LED ones with a built-in resistor?
- Frame sliders: I had shogun, they held pretty well, but I dont mind something else, maybe carbon fiber?
- Clutch/brake levers: Well I never liked the OEM ones, any good and reasonable priced replacements?
- Handle-bad ends: OEM looked ok, but am open to ideas/recommendations
- Headlights: I have a scratch on the right side, it annoys me, but I dont feel like paying $300 for a replacement. I might either put a tint or get angel-eyes headlights, etc.
babymilo36 10-11-2011, 02:24 PM For frame sliders, I would definitely recommend Woodcraft, many people on here can vouch for Woodcraft.
I sell aftermarket bi-folding shorty levers :) I will be coming out with standard length levers pretty soon with the option of red, silver or gold adjusters. They are $100/set shipped to your door. Let me know if you have any questions!

NickG013 10-11-2011, 02:25 PM Mirrors you can find on Fleabay if you want them cheap. Rizomas are nice though. Rear turn signals depends on how you're mounting them. Most people just do integrated. For frame sliders, everyone on here loves Woodcraft. For levers, look at Shermoto Racing... He's the shit. :fact For bar ends, anything works. I have the driven ones to match my D3 Grips and they're pretty nice. Or you can leave your mirrors off and get the bar end mirrors! For headlights, if the lens is scratched, try buffing it out, if that doesn't work, you might be able to find a replacement lens on here.

z4bike 10-12-2011, 07:40 AM Thanks for the replies..
I would not mind an upgrade for the mirrors, and have LED light built-in into them. Maybe something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fit-Yamaha-YZF-R1-R6-R6S-Fazer-FZ1-FZ6-MT01-LED-Turn-Signal-Side-Mirrors-Black-/170711296637?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27bf2faa7d#ht_1946wt_1063
or these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LED-Black-Mirror-CBR-VFR-GSXR-SV-YZF-R1-R6-ZX-Ninja-/160653634496?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2567b3ebc0#ht_5116wt_939
For levers, its honestly outside the budget since am rebuilding the bike after a crash, so trying to save as much as possible.
The woodcraft, I dont think they have "no cut" frame sliders.

Cool deal man, just let me know if you have questions :)
If you want no cut frame sliders, Graves has some no cut frame sliders for roughly the same price.

Well the previous owner has put the Shogun no-cut frame sliders, and they held up pretty well. Since he did not drill the fairings already, I decided to just replace the sliders by no-cut ones as well.. I will check the Graves ones, thanks.
z4bike 10-12-2011, 08:44 AM btw, can one just replace for example one side of the frame sliders from Shogun? I would just need the left side, and probably just the puck for it.
