i got my ebay mirrors today, from my last set they stepped up their game. the DO have a rubber cover to hide the bolts now! and also the actual plastic casing for the mirror itself is painted shiney black like the oem ones instead of just having the plastic garbage look.

i'll post a pic tomorrow when i get time.

Can you guys please confirm that they are convex mirrors? I previously purchased a pair of mirrors online but they had no curvature to them so they were useless.

that happened to my old mirrors (that were stock)
do you expect them to stay solid and bend your fairing stay?

id rather (when my bike tipped) pay for some 20.00 mirrors than a 150.00 stay.

The stock mirrors has metal brackets and actually held up (for me anyway) And instead of snapping off the metal held up and folded back.

If the stay did bend, which it wouldnt, it can easily be bent back.

I can tell you from personal experience, that bending that Stay, is not easy. It is designed to be rigid, and if it does get bent, it does not want to unbend.
