Nope ... I know I did want them a while back ... till I heard you can see even less in them than Falco mirrors .... I've some other plans (but maybe a way down my to do list)

Still, those will look good ... just a bit more bling than functional I fear ....

Not tried 'em yet so don't know what rear vis is actually like, but holding them up on the bike they didn't look too different in position to the OE mirrors.

Will let you know.

Nooj they are soooo 2008.

Put an LCD monitor and rear facing camera on instead.

Hey.. how about rigging up some semaphore indicators! They'll be different. Just look around the scrappies for an old A35.

you'll be to busy going round roundabouts looking at your indi's flashing to worry about your rear view.

Oh believe me, I have thought about it.

From just sitting on the bike these don't seem to be any worse than the original mirrors for viewing what's behind, not tried them on the road yet and won't for a while untill the rest of the tweeking's done. All sportsbike style mirrors are shit at their job anyway.

So the view seems to be about the same, but these fold in and then return to the same place once folded back out, so I haven't got to spend time trying to find out what possition they were in after they've been knocked in the garage every time the bike gets walked past.

Also they've cleaned up the lines of the bike, there's no indicators poking out of the sides of the fairings any more and of course they have added that all important extra bling value

More pics, on the bike this time:

That has to rate as one of the best mods on this site! I, too, like the fact that they return to the set possition because I have to fold mine in the garage. Well done. Are those extra spacer blocks you are using? Wher could I buy such things to improve the view?

That's good news .... I was just going from what had previously been posted on AF1 about this mod - I'd even approached one of the first people to make spacers to see if I could get some but never got a reply but then the "poor view" info put me off. Now info may change my mind ....

Looking very good! I have had a pair of these mirrors kicking around since 2006 but never the skill to do anything with them.
