I was quite sick of the stock mirrors which I am sure most of you can relate.
So, I started shopping around for an inexpensive alternative, then I came across these on Amazon for $18!
Stems are chrome plated steel and mirrors are in an ABS plastic housing. Mirrors actually didn't look too bad but what I did was use the stock mirrors and just replaced the stem!
Stock stem is 2" to the bending point then it is another 3". The replacement stem is 1.5" to the bending point then it is 5.5" and even though the aftermarket stem has a higher degree the 2.5" difference in length made a huge difference for me.
I just wanted to share this with those who might be interested in it.
- 1st pic shows the finished look.
- 2nd pic compares the shorter stock to the longer aftermarket stem.
- 3rd & 4th pics are close-ups of the aftermarket mirror.
