I used a mold and made my own abs ones with a bolt. they are held on by a nut.

I used just regular molding clay and let it dry(the stuff with a small amount of contraction).

then i made a mold out of plaster of paris and then melted down a bunch of abs dust(MEK is king here) and put it in the mold. Dried, sanded, painted, then bought a set of stock sticks to continue the white over the whole.

just looks like i have a line where the hole use to be.

That is a good idea man, I might have to try that out. So did you fire the mirrors off?

depends what year and type of bike R6 or R6s you have, but I bought a set of these signal block offs.

Molding is def. not an option. But it is a good idea.

Yeah I did, looks pretty sick IMO. But we had a stretch of good riding days here, now we are back to 20 degree days for god knows how long.

Fill the holes with blinkers.



LOL! Sorry, I had to do it.

I have nothing else to contribute.

Actually I was in the same position as you a bit ago. I originally was going to use the custom fairing block off plugs that Tobefast has, but they wanted 70 bucks in shipping to Alaska for a twenty dollar part. I decided against it, and got a set of flush mount marker lights for the blinker holes.

Now I have integrated turn signal mirrors for great forward visibility, and a set of flush mounts that act mostly like side markers for good side visibility as well. Overall clean, simple, and there was no appreciable voltage or amperage draw from using the two of them combined.

My other plan before I did that was just to throw a Yamaha sticker over the holes :P
