Figured they are a slick look and really bright.
Couldn't hurt.

I'm also doing the LED version of these mirrors.

So far, they are way more adjustable. Will post up how I like them when I get some road time

I'd like to see some pictures of your mirror set up Sprintst. I am in the market for a new set of mirrors. My passenger side folds down an inch or so around 65mph.

Sprintst, I tried a set of those mirrors. they did not fit properly(even tho they said they would). The bolt spacing was off. If I remember correctly they were not very adjustable. I gave them to one of my buddies and they fit his gixxer. They didn't last very long.

Direct replacement LED bulbs are nothing new. You can usually get actual CREE LED chips in them nowadays for pretty cheap, too.. and those are definitely the way to go as far as brightness or visibility.

I have a set of similar mirrors on my bike, they dont have the turn signals on the glass side, but they fit well and made a massive improvement in safety / rear visibility over the stockers. This is on a CR, so mounting is completely different than an R.

I have the above mirrors on my 1125. Cheap. Bracket must be drilled out to fit. Not convex. Mirror came loose, had to be re glued. Mounted them R to L, L to R to make them fit better. Easy to pull in for traffic. They do the job, don't look great. Rubber boots don't stay in place.

Cf_z, please provide a pointer to the mirrors you used on your CR.

These exact ones. They look quite a bit better than stock, and function five times as good. Certainly the best safety / rideability mod i've done so far. Many riders dont use their mirrors, but i look in them ever 5 seconds.

The LED turn signal light is actually very bright too.

#1 - bolt pattern fit perfectly, though they are all the way to the center, but no mods

#2 - stock bolts too short, trip to hardware store

#3 - shorter - don't stick out as far, but way way way more adjustable, so it looks like I can see more

#4 - not real solid feeling, I'm guessing they will vibrate pretty badly

#5 - cheap, so worth a shot in my book
