It appears the ebay one is for a single unit and ausfr is for a pair

These are probably just as good & $100-$130 cheaper, Just about everything is made in China nowadays anyway, Anyone tried these>

Oberon are pretty reliable quality, even if they're all made in china the difference is one's made to some chinks quality standards, and the other is made to a large companies stringent quality standards where they sell under a reputable name whos reputation they do not want to tarnish.
The chinese guy doesn't give a shit cos he's pumping his ones out for fuck all neway.

This is my personal opinion after dealing with some dodgy chinese manufacturers (all that I dealt with were dodgy as fk).

Not everything is made in China.
Some of the Chinese stuff really is shit.
I use Pazzo, Renthal, Oberon etc and don't
gamble on if I'm buying quality or crap.

Can you imagine how many people receive their single mirror after believing they ordered a pair...
They should really highlight the fact a bit more.

I HAVE THE CHINESE ONES ON MY 14 AND THEY ARE FINE that fucking good i had to tell you in caps cunce

Seriously they are fucking mirrors, what performance advantage would you get from the oberons, mine are flat so not everything behind me looks larger than life ... of course unless its large himself.

just loctite the little screws, they tend to rattle loose otherwise

I have a genuine Oberon mirror.

I turned the bar end upside down so you cant see the hole and
taped the mirror on the end of a broom handle to look for Possums.

F#ckin' useless (and illegal) small bar end mirrors.




...and Yes, I have met a cop who know's this.

Hmmm, maybe they have a built in self destruct mode...

I did have it in 2nd then looked at the mirrors in order of L,L,R,L,R,R then WOT.
