Hi all,

Was just wondering if I could have the opinion from some of you guys about these mirrors?

I'm going to be purchasing these along with twin black dominator headlights and the brackets. He said if I buy the three items, then I will get free freight. Pre good deal I think? Is it? All up the lights, mirrors and brackets can be shipped to me for $152 AUD.

Do these mirrors vibrate too much? I really like the look of them but am wondering about just how practical they are going to be? Then again, a streetfighter is basically anything but practical. ;)

Thanks guys.

I have mirrors like them they stuck out to much for me so clamped them to my master cylinders. Don't really use them much all I can see is my arm most of the time ;) but No vibration that I have noticed

Got something similar on my KTM but as Yella said they stick out. Thinking of going for these next as they give a better view and fit over or under the bar.

I'm wanting a set of these, couldn't give a shit about them sticking out just want to see what behind me. At the moment all I can see is my shoulders. So when I'm cruising above the speed limit, I can see if any coppers are lurking behind me.

As long as they aren't set and forget like the oberon billet ones I've got, they are a pain in the arse because you need to be stationary to adjust them with an allen key.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I looked at the ones the can be mounted underneath the bar, etc with the how to install link. They are pretty expensive but. I think I might have to go with the ones I originally posted. On a budget atm. :(

If I hate them or they are not practical then I'll just sell them for SFA and go the real deal!

I have a cheap slimline mirror on my Z mounted there the stock ones go. I have a blanking plug on one side and just have a RH mirror for rego.
I dont like bar ends because I run wide bars and I often nic mirrors while lane splitting. Besides I could never spot the rozzers behind me with them on

Not really on topic but I've got to say the stock mirrors on the zx14 are the best mirrors I've ever had, good n stable and can see every prick behind you without trying.

These ones below are a little bit cheaper ($12.99US incl postage to OZ) & look exactly the same?

I was looking for a set of universal mirror mounts cause I dont want bar end mirrors so the item #5 above will do fine for $5.50 incl postage
