Hi folks,

I’ve got 100% the same mirrors somewhere in my garage, wanted to put them on my GL but changed my mind, think they are to small, u don’t see much in them don’t ya !?

I’ve got them in a bike shop near my place for 14-15$ if I remember it ok… the problem is they are absolutely not in carbon but only carbon painted GFK !!

But they look ok…

Motorcycle mirrors do look good! The problem is that they normally are borderline useless on the motorcycles themselves! Both my sportbikes have had to get upgrades in the form of bar end mirrors because the standard mirrors just don't have enough surface area for me/most to get a good field of vision. We don't need blind spots to cause a collision now do we?

Plan ahead...Noah's Ark wasn't built in the rain.

Too bad Carbon-Joe doesn’t make some BMW M3 type mirrors to replace mine…

hi
:D of course there not real carbon ;) but you have to be stood next to them to know! i had my reservations about the field of veiw being not enough but they are good consider i only had a right hand mirror fitted before (i think you can see it on the readers ride section old pictures) well just having two mirrors is an improvement:hehehe:

these ones took some finding most of them have 6in long arms before the mirror i needed to get the shortest arms possible im happy with the view works just dandy (i drive an english rh drive car in germany im a bit touched anyway)

cheers chaps.

I work at a bike shop so they're always cheaper for me. I love employee discounts.:D Go to the main page and look in the new for 2003 products section on page 4 there are mirrors with turn signals in them.;)
