Always appreciate your instal videos. These are gonna be on the short list to order for sure now. I really was worried about snaking a wire all the way to the back but seeing how they piggy back on the connector there is genius. I'd love to see a little discounted kit sold as a bundle from you though. These, the power folding mechanism, and the upgraded turn signals from electrical connection. Kind of an all in one ultimate upgrade for the mirrors.
I bought a set of these mirrors at winged Rider rally number 2 at niehaus cycle sales in Litchfield Illinois. Installed them just like you did. Easy as can be. The view is fantastic. Seeing traffic almost right beside you!
Looks like a great product. I have one concern though. If the bike were to fall over, would the new convex mirror now take the brunt of the fall and break negating your fall over protection on the mirror housing? It does stick out a lot.
Almost certainly, this is the problem with this product... if you tip over, it's definitely going to be broken to some degree, maybe even bad. But I don't think you'll hurt the expensive painted part or the face plate. You might damage the frame as well, but it's not much money. This will be the trade off if you feel these mirrors will make you safer.
My question's a bit different - I'm sure that since the stock mirrors run afoul of the handlebars and stock levers at full lock, the extended mirrors would do so as well. However, do the extended mirrors long enough to run afoul of the handlebars/stubby levers that you have with the power folding mirrors? The video showed the mirror folding up after you shut off the bike, but the handlebar wasn't turned enough to see if there was clearance. As always, thanks for the info.
@@Traxxion Road about 200 miles yesterday with some in heavy traffic. These mirrors really help with the blind spots that you have with the regular mirrors. Everyone with a a bike needs a set of these.

Since the mirror sticks out further does that effect the tip over protection that's on the mirror housing will the mirror hit the ground and prevent the tip over protection on the mirror housing from protecting the mirror

Good question. I probably wouldn’t mind extending and splicing wires, probably just power and ground like the Muth Mirrors, I might give the led version mirrors a try. I like the extra view.
Well, you did make me laugh, I assume the non lighted unit can be installed without assembly removal. As everyone if the bike falls over will the mirror take the brunt of the fall?
Yes, the unlighted mirror can be installed in minutes on the bike. If you tip over, it's definitely going to be broken to some degree, maybe even bad.

If you have the mute mirror on your bike, will the new mirror attach to the mute mirror?
I haven't installed the Muth ones before, not sure. Sorry!

@@Traxxion I was wondering if you ever thought about developing a longer adapter on the seat. Then you can take off the seat without disconnecting it. Electrical Connections won't.
