I think that the FZ6 mirrors are one of the most underrated aspects of the bike.
The stock OEM mirrors are brilliant at speed, offering a good vibration free view of what's going on behind you.
How are the vibes with the Kawasaki mirrors?

The Kawasaki's mirror is as good as our OEM's. In fact, it covers wider back view
from our OEM's. The shape is more angled as it matches our front cowling. Tested on town riding n yet 2 test it on highway for higher speed. Seems 2 b fine 2 me.

looks great and I was wondering if they bolt on the same or how well the viewing angle was. there's a ninja 250 that parks next to me and I was jealous of the mirror shape.

Are these OEM ninja 250 mirrors or EMG, ebay etc? there's some cheaper replacement ones on ebay but I'm worried the glass might not be very good or vibration might not be as good as stock.
I have some crappy aftermarket ones on my old bike (those fleabay ones with the integrated turn signals) and the glass sucks. visibility was far less.

I'm surprised to hear these show more than stock seeing as they don't stick out as far.

The stockers are VERY strong and good at absorbing vibes. When I was looking at buying a Fazer the salesman actually held the bike up using the mirrors while I was on it! With the ones I've had the silvering started to peel off really easily though. :( On my second set in a few years and the silver has come off all round the edges a few months later. :(

ok, which ones did you use though?
there's OEM ninja 250 mirrors, EMGO mirrors, and chinese knockoffs on ebay.

all 3 look the same, but the quality differs.

Sorry to hear that, are you talking about the glass or the arm? Mine are the original dull black and have no signs of wear.

Cheers
