yep..ive seen these before but wasnt sure to the styling i want..looks like the nasty end to a TRIFFID..ive also come across guard/fender indicators from quality japanese cars that would look good inserted into the origional mirrors if possible as well.

Yep, i've got em. They bounce a fair bit and are hard to keep adjusted. In a word, cheap. I will persevere with them. Bling ? :lol:
Cheers,

I agree, their pivot point being within the plastic means that anything with `vibes` tries to constantly re-adjust them. Dawn bought me a pair for my Skorpion which for a single is pretty smooth, but they do work loose and out of adjustment at times.
The LED`s don`t show much in daylight but at night look rather nice in all honesty.
I`ve fitted mine with stainless fasteners and utilised nyloc nuts, they help a great deal. I might fabricate some alloy plates to go into the fixings slots, that`ll help keep them tight too as if you tighten the screws too hard they simply bed into the plastic and squeeze it thinner, deforming it.

I bought some similar ones but fixed up/down, except the vertical angle is well off, $50 down the drain!

I'm trying to see if I can match a pair from FAR Italy, they look pretty good & are reasonably cheap too: http://www.far.it/

If anyone knows another model that will definitely fit, they have most late model stuff with LED indicators (Not FZR, Thundercat etc though) I'm all ears!

LOL! i literally just fitted a pair, walked inside and logged on. Coincidence much....

anyway i bought a set for like AUD$30 free postage expecting that they would be the cheapest of cheap. They are.

Ill try this thing called a dig-i-tal camera and see if i can get a photo of how they look.
