Decent Mirrors?

[veeeffarr]

Hi,

I'm looking for some 10mm thread handlebar mounted mirrors for my GS500E.

I bought some tech7 ones and they are utter shit, theyre tiny and they magnify as well (Something I didn't know when I bought them).

Any recommendations? Looking for some that look decent, don't vibrate that much but most importantly offer good rear vision.

Cheers,

T

I got myself some of these

never looked back

I also just bought some Tech 7 aero ones from Busters.

The quality to be honest looks crap. I saw yesterday in Hein Gericke some Carbon fibre effect round mirrors I think I am gonna go and buy these and just ebay these tech 7 ones.

Which tech 7 did u buy?

they look a bit small

[sickpup]

Tech 7 Don't they make heated grips and muffs?

[veeeffarr]

Yep theyre the ones.

Only fitted em for 2 days and can't see shit and one of them has cracked already from when the bike leaned to the left slightly on the stand and the mirror pressed against my wall.

Pieces of crap.

shite, they only arrived this morning. Might just send em back now then and not bother but at £5 pnp its a bloody rip off. Might e bay em

Is it the fact that they are so small you can see past your jacket?
I find with the original Hornet ones I have to tuck my arms in to see, only replaced em cause they rusted a litte think a trip to HG is in order again!

the Aero mirrors that you lot have got are cheap crap. Usualy used as cheap reeplacements for scooters!

I have some 'stalker' Mirrors from bikeit. there small and they magnify. i have set them up so i can see past my jacket. you cannot see alot with them but i am happy with them!

F1 and F3 mirrors and others liek that are too small IMHO

to be fair mate they didnt look that bad on the web site!! And if I had of know of the quality before buying then of course I would not have bothered!!

[Type_Mo]

i understand what you mean. I would jsut stick them on ebay as those mirrors are good fro peds.

If you want good vision with small mirrors then maybe try bar end mirrors.

I put a set of GPz 305 mirrors on my MZ. They were very good, kind of wide angled, you could see loads in them. They were a trapezoid shape and actually stopped just inboard of the bar-ends so they don't smash if the bike falls off the stand.

Can't remember what size the threads are though.

funny this thread popping up, i just bought these from the streetfighter store today.

seen as motrax don't make the led indy mirrors any more or ever did? these come quite close to requirements, don't know weather or not to make the leds stay on as running lights or use them as indicators but the option is there

[veeeffarr]

[Type_Mo]

those mirrors are strong but will scratch easily. The lights int hem are not intended to replace original indycators. and the wiring sticks out the side at the bottom of them.
