I would look for a seller with more transactions and a better rating.

The auction description says they're made in Japan. That implies a good quality product. Are you sure they'll fit our bikes?

they will need the adapter but they should fit.

cheap enough to give them a try


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

They look like Kuryakyn Elipse mirrors. I believe mine are that model. Bought them off a swap meet table, $20 each. I put mine in without the adaptor and they work fine. I was surprised with the improved range of vision versus stock. You can see both lanes from either side. That's a pretty good price. I think new they are somewhere around $80-$90 per pair.

When you say without an adaptor, do you mean you just bolted it in from underneath. What size thread are they usually.

Exactly. I just used the chrome allen-head that came with each mirror. Put a washer on the bottom, cinched her down tight and they have't moved a fraction in 20k miles. The bolts fill about 60% of the factory hole (from memory).
