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.
Isnt that true for any integrated light mirrors since the F4i isnt designed for them...

Yup unless some fabs up a set that will fit. But I have used that type of mirrors the LED ones are made went. The stockers snap off easy enuff as they are, those were worse.

Here is the mirror I installed. The wire originally runs out of the side of the stem so I drilled a hole thru the bottom of the mounting bracket.

yes, youre right. I meant I had to drill through the stay bracke to get the stud screw on the other side of the cowl.
you still need to drill a hole just through the upper cowl to get the wire inside the plastics.

Hey shawnyc01f4i, thanks for that info... do you mind posting a picture from the other side like 02cbrf4i4u has? To get an idea of the rear view through these mirrors... what is your impression?
Thanks
