• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Magic Mirror Mounts

If you perform your own maintenance on your Spyder the first step for just about every procedure is to remove the mirrors. I always cringe each time I attempt the mirror removal process but not with the magnetic mirrors mounts. Now it will be a simple task to remove and replace. :)
 
Magic mirrors

I ordered mine about a week before I found out that Lamont was selling them . Strange how that happens, the same thing happened when I ordered my fender lights, about 2 weeks after I ordered them, I went by his shop on my way back home from a Colorado vacation and he told me he was selling them........:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
 
Refer to post#10. Overseas mail does take a really long time, what with customs, etc. Mine showed up when I least expected them. Yours will too.

I feel bad for Russel as there's nothing he can do once it leaves the shop. The package we got was beat up pretty bad with a big hole in it. Somehow we didn't lose any of the product. We have another large order heading our way. We won't get the complete order for a few weeks but a partial order shipped out to me Tuesday. Like others have said it's a great product and Russel is a standup guy. :doorag:

I take it that is why I can't pull up on your site? Is there a way i can pre order until your stock arrives?

New spyder rider and wanted to thank you for all your videos you helped with my new addiction
 
From time to time I order stuff out of China. Tracking will show it getting to Canada in 4 or 5 days. Then the magic words "Sent for further processing". I have come to find out that is Customs. 5 to 40 days later tracking will continue to my house.
 
It happens. Myself, I am currently waiting on spokes for my 1973 OSSA. For whatever reason, this order from the UK is taking longer than all the others.

Possibly all your magnets are stuck to my spokes, and the entire lot is twirling around, stuck magnetically to the post office conveyor system.

I will say the magnet mounts are neat, but still prefer my bolted on aftermarket mirrors on the RTS.
 
I ordered mine last Sat from Lamont.They arrived in Ogdensburg on Wed. i just need to drive over pick them up.Maybe if its nice Sat go for a short ride across the border.:yes:

The OEM mounts for the mirrors have been an issue ever since it was first introduced on the 2010 models. You have to tap this way... then that way... then some other way... and end up wanting to take a baseball bat to them. nojoke
This is easy-peasey! :clap:

:agree: I am so happy to have these. I usually had no problem with removal other than the occasional mirror flying across the garage. However, that reinstall was horrendo, first 1/2 hour of attempts, fiddling with the prongs, uttering some words that the grandchildren should not hear. :banghead: Finally walking away for another 1/2 hour, coming back and it slips right on, I swear that they program the blasted things to work that way. :yikes:

My Magic Mirrors were shipped April 10 and just did a track on the package and it has finally hit the USA. Currently is in Chicago, got there on the 20th. Getting closer to delivery.:yes::yes::yes:
 
I ordered mine a week ago ( the 21st ) and they are in New York now. Getting close, can't wait.

Got mine on the 26th, took about 35 / 40 minutes to install them, after finding all the necessary tools. Really a cool idea, will come in handy in the long run.

Mine was also shipped on April 10th. Just checked tracking and mine also arrived in the states. I assume Chicago. Hopefully will have them soon. :ohyea:
 
Here is some info about international postal tracking some of you may find helpful, or disconcerting, whatever the case may be. I'm waiting for a phone case coming from Poland. Here's what the seller has to say about tracking.

BUT - tracking show only the way in Poland, USPS turned off this possibility of tracking for incoming international mail - Please read this https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archi...-international-mail-tracking-to/td-p/23324720

Apparently this has been the case since 2014 so even if Russel did give a tracking number it probably wouldn't do you any good.
 
Got my Magic Mirrors yesterday. Shipped April 10 and arrived April 26. I guess that isn't too bad. But boy was the package really looked like it has been through hell. The shipping label was half peeled off and torn. Just glad the contents were still inside. Got the Magic Mirrors installed today and only took me about 45 minutes total. Just a word of caution about the magnets. These magnets are strong as heck. Don't ever get 2 magnets together. Don't ask me how I know. LOL They are hell to pull apart. Thanks to Russell Culey for a great product and for an easy install. :yes::yes::yes:

There isn't no way these will ever blow off. It takes a really hard hit to get the mirror to break loose from the magnets. I don't see any reason to attach a tether, but to each his own.
 
I got mine yesterday and installed them straight away. Super easy with just his written instructions.

Me likey!!!:joke:

Great ideal Russell!!!!!:2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:

I also attached the tether (The insurance guy inside me was yelling loudly... :shocked:)
When I had to pull a mirror off the bike: I loosened the mounting point on the bike with a T30 torx bit, and pulle the tether loose from up there! :thumbup:
(MUCH easier than removing it from the mirror body! nojoke)
