Mirrors with indicators
« on: 23 December 2013, 12:33:00 pm »
Found some on eBay at what seems a reasonable 20 sovs. Anyone tried fitting these before? Worth trying or not?

I took a bike in with indicator mirrors in a year or so ago. The build quality of them was shocking.... There are some good ones about but if they are £20 I would say that they are cheap and nasty.

I wouldn't worry about that, more bikes these days come with them than not!

They'd be in addition to the existing indicators rather than in place of.

As mentioned above, they're probably shit though for 20 notes

It'll only be missed if they're not looking. So yes, it'll probably be missed :D

I have indicators in the mirrors and if anything they're easier to see as they're further from the headlights.
