Do any of you have turn signal mirrors? Do you like them? I want to move the turn signals off my handlebars and don't really care for the light bars. Suggestions? These ones from Kuryakyn Turn Signal Mirrors: 49-7892 on Fast Eddy's site are the ones I like. http://www.fasteddysports.com/?page_id=3&product_id=785Thanks guys and gals...Kathy

I have them Kathy, and love em. They are good looking and give you more visibility from the front with the running lights, and the rear with the facing back indicators. I did however question just how visible the signals are from the front on a bright day. I'm not saying they are not bright enough, only that I questioned it so I added another set of front indicators/running lights. If you do go for them, be sure to keep in touch about wiring them up as I have a good way of doing that.

Keith,
I can't find any photos of your bike? Can you tell me where you have it posted so I can see the mirrors? I'll not be doing to wiring, my husband and the boys in our club will be doing it. But will ask if we have any questions.
Thanks

I love the mirrors. I have seen your bike before and it's a nice one, but couldn't find it a while ago. I need to get some pics up of mine sometime. Will start saving a bit and get the mirrors soon. Thanks for your help.

You never have to ask Keith twice to post pictures of his bike.

Hi,
I had them on my 2006 America, I enjoyed them. I was actually parked at a diner and got a complimaent from a cager that had pulled in from the opposite way saying he was able to see them a good way out as I turned left into the parking lot
I do not ask for a fair life, only a Just one.

Someday he might actually submit his bike for a feature. But I'll probably have to cajole him into it, maybe buy him a beer in July.

Now I'm thinking maybe wait until I'm done with all this year's changes... you know, more lights and stuff!

Keith, I thought your mirrors where Rivco.
Did you look into the Rivcos?

I've got these mirrors on an '08 Speedie and love them! They tidy up the front end a treat, and I put a pair of mini LED indicators on the back. Several people have actually asked where the indicators are when looking at the bike

Just put em on Nanci's bike and I sure like them.Once I get the flasher worked out I'll be real happy,but it does give me somthing to do when I'm home.The mirror size is good and beeing able to see your signal is on is a real plus.I rarely use mine cas I forget to turn them off and that can be a tad dangerous.Good luck Kathy

I bought a set of Kuryakyns last year. Neat idea, dim lights. From a distance I can only see them in the dark.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Yeah, whether it's the Kurys or RIVCOs I agree they are a bit dim, except for in the dark where they show up pretty well. For that reason, this year I added another set of turn signals just to be on the safe side.
