D2 Moto quality worth the saved dollars?
 
Hey guys,

New to the community, but been riding for some years... I had a F3 a few years ago, laid it down and just recently was able to get a "new" F4i and am loving it... Nothing like a CBR

Anyway, I bought it with a bent shift lever and a missing mirror. I came across D2 Moto while browsing around here so I took a look. Their prices are insanely cheap and pretty tempting, however I have to wonder if they're crap...

Have any of you had experience with their parts? If so, were you satisfied? How do they hold up?

I kind of have the feeling I should go ahead and spend the extra $$, but thought I would ask...

Thanks,

Mitchell

Also sorry if there's a thread to this already I searched a bit, read through the sticky and found no mention.

I bought some bar ends from them and they seem good.

I have their integrated mirrors; they're so-so. Mostly they pivot around the mirror under highway speeds and fold back completely. I've tried to tighten everything, but there's no access to that area, so I tried to superglue it instead. One held, the other didn't. I think I can get it to work, but it's sort of a pain for a marginal price savings.

To be fair, D2 Moto's customer service email answered quickly and offered to refund my money if I returned the mirrors, so I think they're solid in that regard. I haven't seen any damage to the mirrors, and the LED turn signals are bright.

I had to buy a different set of screws to hold the base plates, so that was a couple bucks from Home Depot. The wiring was about what you'd expect, though the wires either need another hole drilled or to be looped around a bit of the nose fairing. I bought a couple bucks worth of heatshrink from the store to blend it in a bit better and protect the splices.

The mirrors seem like a solid product, just unfinished. If I can figure out the pivot problem, I think I have a solid pair of mirrors pieced together, and I probably came out a few bucks ahead, even though the process has been aggravating.

I've purchase bar ends, clutch and break handlbar levers and mirrors (all carbon fiber--of course it's not real) and they have all held up pretty well.

You should be able to find some coupons to get even further discounts.

Just ordered bar ends from Amazon from them. Stoked.
