Trying to find some different mirror options and wanted your opinion on these.  Do you think they would go out far enough to provide a good view?

Specs: Mirror size : 4" X 2  7/8 "
          Stem length plus threads : 4"
          Thread length : 7/8"
          Thread size : 10 mm.

you would have to be the judge on that... like oldsmoker said they look good but that ultimate issue is that can you see with them? some guys are content with bar end mirrors. is there any possibility of test fitting them? or are you ordering them?

It's difficult to tell how strong the plastic is without getting your mits on them. Some of the cheaper plastics can get bleached and turn grey in the sun too. does the description state the dimensions? They sometimes are a bit smaller than they look in the pic. Having said all that, they look good to me. I bought a L/H 250 Hornet one for my bike, all I need now is the R/H one Roll Eyes Although one mirror is certainly better than none - at least you can see that blue late in the distance Tongue

I made a post on the other forums asking where to get those at.  Are they hard to come by?  What year are they off of?

These looks similar to the ones I got from e-gay.  I wouldn't recommend them.  I'd go with the bar end mirrors for best view/quality.  GL.

Agreed. I have bar ends. Great visibility. Style compliments our bikes nicely.
