Turn Signal Mirror Mod

I figured I'd post this here since I only know for sure that this works on a 6th gen VFR but here's my latest mod. I picked up a cheap set of universal integrated turn signal mirrors on Ebay.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/171411586827?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT and managed to install them using my stock base mounts. It's a tight fit to get the new mirror stems into the stock mounts but the mirror stems are plastic so I was able to muscle them in. I still need to run the wires but I rigged them up to a spare battery to at least light them up.








I found a trick to lining up the holes by threading the bolt in through the back of the mount, through the mirror stem to help line up the holes then just take the bolt out and put it in the right side.
The stock base mounts even have a small square hole that I can run the wires through after I drill a small hole in the fairing. I'm hoping to get them wired into the stock signals tomorrow night at our weekly bike night, weather permitting.

 

Does'nt look bad at all. Take a few pics outside at night so we can see how bright they are.

 

How are they for seeing behind you?

 

I was a tad concerned when I first got them since the stems were shorter than the stock ones but the mirrors themselves are wider so it works out ok in the end. They vibrate more than the stock ones but I will work on remedying that and besides they were $26 so I wasn't expecting the greatest quality. I'm mainly still just experimenting at this point.

 

The only ride so far since I put them on was through the neighborhood over to my buddies place for bike night and the streets are rough so I have yet to see if they vibrate on main streets and highway speeds.

 

If they are as good as stock that works for me. I was more worried about them being worse. I think they look great.
