I posted before about these, finally got a chance to ride them.

About 1/2 the mirror is usable around my big arms, whereas the stocker's are totally blocked.

The LED blinker on the mirror side is visibly in bright sun, but dim, still, is a good reminder your blinker is on

I don't have them super tight, since I wanted to be able to adjust them, but they didn't budge at 80 mph

2 hour ride, they didn't move. Vibration - much better than the stock mirror. Slight blur, but very useable.

So, for a cheap mirror, these look like a home run

See this thread for install notes and more pics

I'd like to know how durable they are after more miles. I do like the way they look.

I'll try to update this occasionally.

Put a few hours on today, no issues.

Definitely are shorter, I mentioned that in the previous thread, but for me, I can adjust the angle more and they are more usable - stockers can't angle enough for me to see anything but elbows

Oh, I didn't think about this until riding today - I also installed Throttlemeister bar ends - so these could be what's getting rid of my vibration and making these mirrors more clear
