Ordered the one with the ridges. Will install and report back with pics.

If they don't work out, then I'm going back to OEM.

Rating the mirror - 9/10

I was pleasantly surprised. The mirrors do not vibrate any more than the stock ones did. I bought the ones with the ridges:



Along with the HotBodies flush mount LEDs and an aftermarket turn signal relay, I have to say - it looks pretty good!

I give it a 9/10 only because the part of the mirror that connects to the stalk is narrower than stock. With oem mirrors, I could put my left hand on my thigh and I was able to clearly see everything behind me through my underarm - that vision is reduced a bit now, though I have plenty of mirror on the outside of my elbow when I have my left hand on the grip.

I used the oem bolts that were holding the oem mirrors in place and added washers. I don't know if that help(s/ed) with the lack of vibration.

I uploaded a video. The LEDs are yellower in the video.

not bad.. wish they were a tad brighter though.. that is exactly what I am thinking of doing with my F4. Id do the same hotbodies in the fairings and the mirrors would be the main signal for cagers to see... I am weary of flushmounts because I feel that people wouldnt see them at all... Do you have any vids you could upload of them during the daytime?

Thanks

Thanks for that. You just decided my next purchase! I'll be keeping my flushmounts now too!

My mirrors arent set up as running lights right now. To me, if you cant see me because of my headlights im already screwed. It does look good though. Im still running the mirrors that look like OEM with signals in them.
