Default Gettin new mirrors...again

So i was replacing the LED's in my mirrors again with even brighter LED's and i cracked the glass finally..DOH.. I guess i shouldnt be pushing my luck.

Anyways, i looked on good ole ebay and found some signals that dont look completely atrocious. I Just hope i dont end up cracking these ones open to tweak the circuitry...but thats just inevitable.

What do yall think of them?

They look nice. Are they cheapos, though? I got some cheap mirrors off ebay and I'm not happy with them. Even after a couple modifications I've made to them, they don't like to stay where I put them. Hit a bump at speed and they blow over.

they seem okay... not great though.. IIRC the ones you just broke didnt look too bad.. I actually just did a search and came across your turn signal mirror post... I guess the LEDs werent bright enough for you? What about the bolt spacing at the mounting point for both of them?


z: those that you linked says specifically that they are not for the F4i..

They're a LOT better than some of the other integrated signal mirrors out there.

I have the same mirrors that Z posted I really like the style, but I'd try to find something higher quality.

I too have been looking into the one that OP posted only b/c the shape is similar to OEM, but the light shape itself just looks ok.

I like the led shape of the other one posted, but not sure if the whole mirror shape blends in well with the lines of the F4i. Anyone have this on?


edit: nvm, looks like mralbdamminc (the transformer bike) has them on. I think it looks good.
