Found these on ebay today. They look just look Kuryakyn turn signal mirrors, but have some nicer features.
- Bases look identical to Kuryakyn mirrors
- Turnsignal elements look larger on these
- Check out the red blinker on the mirror side, very cool

and the price is $118 delivered...

Now I've seen the quality of the Kuryakyn mirrors, and these can't be any worse.

I've got an email in to the vendor to find out if the mirrors come in flat OR convex glass. I also won a set.

Whaddaya think?

 

[Kennedy]

let us know what you find out about the glass, i really would like to keep mirrors with a bit of convex to them.

Bummer, FLAT glass only...

Better picture, they look nice, and I found a set for $103 shipped on ebay.

Cool Mirrors! But Do They Have The Same Quality As The Originals? I Have To Get Somthing. Gotta Blast!

Same quality as the original Kuryakyn mirrors? From what I understand the "original Kuryakyn" mirrors weren't of the best quality.
I'm hoping these are better.

We'll see.

First "Hundred Dollar" part I've bought for the V-Rod that may actually be worth the cost.

They look cool! Will they work as running lights and turn signals?

3 wire system... Yep.

Although from reviews of the Kuryakyn mirrors, the running lights/blinker are pretty much useless. I like them though, and will rely on my observations of oncoming traffic and driving skills rather than rely on other cagers to watch my blinkers.

Very sleek and effective. Really will clean up the handlebar wiring mess.

I already own a pair. Got them in Daytona a month back. I like them alot. They look great on the bike but the mirrors are not as good as the stock were. I got used to them and they were only $120 and I like the clear lens instead of amber. They work well. Just my :2cents:

You guys that have these... Did you require a load balancer for them to function properly?

 

[Kennedy]

No I have not. I still have the bulbs in the back till Doc gets the clear lens in. You won't need it if you have one bulb in.
Did you try to mount them. They don't mount well unless you relocate them with the Joker Machine mirror relocators. I am still working on filling the other holes. Looks like I will have to get a crome bolt and accorn nut.
Good luck. :cheers:

Got a pic? You're the first I've heard of having to relocators with Kuryakyns...

Back from dinner and got the pics. Don't know if this is what you had in mind. I like the mirrors and the LEDs work really well. :thumb:
Don't like the wire (working on braiding the wires and cables soon) and the hole left from where the stock ones fit. :tmbsdow:
More good news :mrgr: when I relocated the mirrors to the holes that the lever pins sat in, it moved them out a little more which gives a little better view to the rear. Not the kind of rear view Ricky G and Kaz would be looking at :moon: .
Hope this helps :cheers:

Todd, Thanks for the pics... Looks great.

I'm gonna try em out without the joker machine spacers first, but am really excited about these.
Looks like I may be sending the uninstalled Kuryakyn's back to V-mod, and installing these.
Where can you find braided hose that small?

I removed the factory front turn signals and installed the knock-offs that have the chevron blinker in the mirror and ran into 1 problem. When installed the right turn signal indicator on the instrument cluster remains lit at all times (blinker on or off), also the security key indicator remains lit (bike runs fine).
I have tried an equilizer and it does not resolve this oddity.

By wiring the original front signals back in (leaving signal mirrors in place), the problem goes away. My guess is the vrod system requires some amount of wattage pull so it knows when a signal bulb is burned out or not.

So you know I already run LED rear signals and Docs tailight, so by removing the factory turn signals, my wattage draw is next to nothing.

By the way, I used the original mounting hole, by filing a small amount off (1/32") from the portion of the mirror arm that contacts the reservoirs, I was able to have the arm align properly.

That is odd...
First thing I would check would be to ensure I didn't pinch the wires to the turnsignals. They're mighty thin.

Running both doc's light and these WILL require an equilizer. When I installed ONLY the left turn signal (stock rear), the turn signal would flash slow 3 times then it would flash very quickly (signifying a burned out bulb, or low voltage. Luckily both lights seem to just enough.

Second, if the security light is on, your OBDII may have thrown a code. Can you get access to an OBDII scanner (autozone)?

Need to bump this up...

One of my mirrors has gobe kaput... Now these things are no longer available anywhere.

Jireh cycles n longer carries em' and ebay only has Kuryakyn's... bummer.

Anyone have any idea where I could get another set?

 

[Kennedy]

Have you tried Midwest Motorcycle Supply? http://www.midwest-mc.com/

The part number for the mirror's is 46-142.

Brent, thanks...
How the hell do you order?

 

[Kennedy]

.

Also, have you serached on ebay for people that sell them on there?

Thanks Brent,
I've checked ebay (see previous post), and these seem to have disappeared. No idea where they all went. There a relative equivalent called "bikers choice" that look more like the Kuryakyns... They have nasty orange lenses and no red led chevrons on the glass side.

Total bummer I can't find these anymore.

 

[Kennedy]

Wouldn't ya know it...

Our very own HogPro is a Midwest Motorcycle dealer. I've got a call in to see if they can still order these mirrors...
