Hey Victor, did you get those from D2Moto? Any problems with them staying in position at speed?

 

How much fun is it to connect the wires? Do I need anything extra, or just tie into the turn signal leads?

I'm looking for some new mirrors after I landed on one n broke it about 2 weeks ago.

 

It should be just as easy as splicing them into the current turn signal wires, Mark. Maybe a little heat shrink on top and you're good.

 

Ok, I'm down for it.. But I can't find the plain black ones!! just the carbon fiber ones that would be ugly on my '95 yellow/purple/white

 

Back when I'd an F2 (now on an f4i), I bought a set of aftermarket integrated turn signal mirrors.

My experience of them? They are trash. Utter, utter trash. To start with, vibration at speed was a problem. One was worse then the other, but at speed it rendered them pretty much useless. Safety wise it's not ideal to have mirrors you can't trust. It gets worse however. I ride in all conditions. On my second run in heavy rain (torrential and for over 1 hour), the adhesive pad that held the mirror to the plasic mirror housing stopped working. The mirror started to vibrate and slide off. Thankfully it got me home. I made a note to araldite the mirror to the body. Fate saved me however. The massive weight of my bike cover (Oxford mid range) on the mirror stalks caused the left hand one to snap. There is a steel rod that runs *almost* the full length of the stalk. Helpfully, it stops just short of the fixing bracket (where the mirror bolts to the bike), meaning that the mirror has an amazing quick release mechanism as the cheap plastic stalk snaps pretty much under the weight of gravity. As an added bonus, the indicator wires held firm allowing the mirrors one last hurrah, scratching my custom painted fairings.

The mirrors looked cool, but functionality and durability are limited at best. Chinese brake levers were exceptionally good, but the mirrors? A waste of money.

 

ok just bought a pair of these but not from ebay. they costed me $100 the guy told me that they wouldnt break even if they fall over and are made of metal they have an led turn signal in them . can i just run the wire tpo the turn signal and splice it ? will it still blink the same time ? or do i need something ? also for everyone that bought the ebay ones got to the store and some 1/4 inch foam the guy who told me about these ones used to use the ebay ones and the foam helps tremendously. good luck to all and thanks for any help with the turn signals

 

Not the best picture but I have the same mirrors. I will take a better one tomorrow.

 

Put my ebay mirrors on with turn signals on couple weeks ago. I went with the mirror signals because I just couldn't bring myself to drill through the new paint .

They shake a tiny bit, and had some problems at first under hard acceleration the right one would tuck back in, but they work fine now!

And yes I know they're upside down. Long story.
