[Mazo EMS2]

I sure wish I would have waited and ordered them from someone here in the good ole USA....STILL waiting for mine to come in...been just about a month now.

I'm with you!! I didn't know there was a U.S. option at the time. I ordered mine on 4-10.

 

[DGoebel]

Ordered mine on 4/2 and they came in while I was at Spyderfest. Installed already, worth the wait.

I feel your pain. Mine was shipped on 4/10 via Australia Post and arrived in Chicago on the 20th. I don't know why it's taking so long to get to Springfield, MO from Chicago. I'm beginning to think I just made a $106 donation.

Pretty neat; aren't they? :thumbup:
How'd you like wrestling with them, while getting them separated with each other? :roflblack:

I needed a nap, after I got done with it!

I just about lost a finger getting them apart but love the magic mirrors

Easy Install, Magic Mirrors

I've popped my mirrors out of those ridiculous pop-on mounts for the last time.

I'm seconding the recommendations people have made on behalf of the Magic Mirror Mounts. Took about 20 minutes to install (mainly because my workbench is a mess), and the mirrors are held in place by amazingly powerful magnets.

If you find yourself having to remove your mirrors regularly to work on the bike, these will make that task MUCH easier to perform. I've always feared that I was going to break something removing the mirrors, but these remove that fear.

Indeed, fantastic product....:bowdown: stop :banghead: and purchase them...very very easy install....

According to the install video you install a clip & cable that will secure the mirror to the bike when you pop the mirror off. That *should* catch it during a freak pothole incident I would think. Must have been some pothole!! :yikes: I should be getting mine in a week or so, looking forward to installing them.

Merlot stopped the tethers at our last order. I will zip tie the connection where the wiring is. We have not had one problem with our set. I am wondering if they were not exactly centered on the magnets.

 

[Roadster Renovations]

If anyone wishes, I can have tethers as an option and we can keep the price pretty low. Just let me know.

 

[Mazo EMS2]

Just plugged in the tracking info on mine....they've been in Chicago since April 22. I can drive to Chicago in 3 hrs.....:banghead:
WTH?

 

[Buckeye Chuck 54]

I ordered mine April 2nd got a message they were shipped on the 10th.
May 1st and still no M&M's. I wrote Russell and was told the problem is on my end.
My bad, should have ordered from somewhere else.
Never again.

I got mine today!
After 35 days. They're as advertised, I can't believe any magnet can be so powerful. I tore the shipping bag taking it from the mailbox, then it stuck to the steel garage door. It took a few minutes to install and at first wasn't too happy with how they fit, there was still a gap on the front of the mirror. But then I took out the front spacer and now they fit nice and tight. Sweet.
I fellow Spyder rider sent me a message, he ordered his the same day I did, but today he got a torn empty shipping bag in his mail. All I could do is tell him to call Russell. Those magnets are stuck somewhere, probably discovered by somebody wondering wtf?
Sorry about your luck SPYD1

Yep. That's my luck. I contacted Russel for a refund. I'm sure he will come through.

 

[PatrickBobb]

Ordered mine today from Doc at Roadster Renovations.

 

[hschuchman]

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got them today and installed them immediately. Very easy install. They are AWESOME!!!!!!!

 

[Mazo EMS2]

The lame tracking system shows mine are STILL in Chicago....have been since April 22nd. Not happy and not impressed, and frankly out of patience. It's been over 6 weeks since I ordered, not a big deal, but to know they have been in Chicago all this time???? Not acceptable in my opinion.

 

[KosherKid]

I took the plunge also and ordered and installed the magic mounts. I see where getting the mirrors off the first time is nerve-racking, had to hit them so hard I thought I was going to break something.

The magnets seem to work well but I wish the kit came with the lanyards for peace of mind. Still worried that a big pothole here in Ohio is going to make one pop off. We have some BIG potholes.

 

[Y Rider]

Yep. That's my luck. I contacted Russel for a refund. I'm sure he will come through.

Mine must have been in the same shipment. It had been over 30 days since I placed the order and still no delivery. I contacted Russ and he stated that there were problems with some of the April 10th shipments. He refunded my payment so I will place another order with a USA based distributor. If by chance his shipment does arrive some day I will repay him for the original sell price and resell them locally. I must say that Russ is a pleasure to work with and a honest business man. :thumbup:

 

[Arion]

I received yesterday the mounts. I live in a four-floors building with an elevator and the postwoman's bag was stuck on the elevator walls and she could not take it off. I think the power will be enough to hold the mirrors. :roflblack:

Magic mirrors

Please be sure to use something to catch the mirror if you hit a pot hole and it flys off! One of my friends hit a railroad track which had a pot hole that he couldn't see, and his right mirror fell off! He had to buy a new whole one for his right side! He has now come up with a way to catch it if this happens! I will post picture of mine with the system on it if I ever get my 2016 RT Limited out of the shop long enough to take a picture! I am looking on internet now, looking for me a dependable bike to buy! You need least two bikes to own a Spyder!

Just did the same thing, with the same thoughts. Russ offered to refund me as well. If they come I'll sell them locally, and just pay Russ the money back. Seems like a stand-up guy that's stuck in a lousy shipping situation. Too bad really. He said that there were issue with the April shipments.

Didn't the turnsignal wiring keep it attached to the bike? :dontknow:
That's a pretty substantial connector, with a really solid locking clip. nojoke
