Default How good/bad are these mirrors?

I was planning on getting these...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...QQcmdZViewItem

currently I have a mismatched set with one stock (good back view!) and one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/honda...QQcmdZViewItem
which suck big time, since they're too small, short and not convex => cant really see anything and to top it all the construction is so bad that I bumped lightly into one and it broke off [:@] (hence the mismatch)

So I'm looking to avoid a repeat of that experience... anybody know if the integrated ones are good mirrors for actually seeing what's going on behind you/in the next lane?
thanks

i haven't seen them but they look cool. i like the integrated turn signal in them but it would defeat the purpose of the flush mounts that i put in. the only thing i would say in my opinion is that they are a little too, (how should i put it) squared off or boxy on the edges. if they were more rounded off then it would look little better. but then again that's just my opinion... so you can tell me to f**k off if you want... LOL

The LED is the mirrors wont be bright enough for anybody to see them durning the day. They will probably work fine for night time.

also i've heard of people doing a gsxr 1000 mirror conversion on their f4i's... i'm pretty sure you can do a search on them here and somethin should come up. i personally like the gsxr mirrors on how it turned out on this guy's bike on here when he posted pics of it.

I just got those in and put one on (I'm in the middle of polishing my frame) and they look great. The led is pretty bright as well. For the money you can't go wrong. I'll try to take some pics this weekend for ya if you want.

great... shawnyc01f4i, how is the rear view in them? That's what I'm worried about the most. Can you see behind/in the next lane?

I don't like the integrated turn signal ones but it's your bike.

led mirrors are the bombs...
but are those ebay mirrors for the f4i....?
i bought a set like those that claimed they were f4i mirrors but no way in hell could i have fit them on the bike without making major modifications; like drilling holes thru the stay bracket.
