Yes, and wish I had put them on sooner....

These have been kicked around in several threads during the past year... The general concensus was that everybody wishes that they'd either done it sooner or were making plans to get to it. :2thumbs:
I'm in the latter grouping... pps:

Love mine!! But I still wish they'd fix the centering issue on the :;(()$& turn switch.

I bought this same brand on eBay but got the Amber color. They work and look great. :thumbup:

I agree with the hawk. I went with Amber. :thumbup:

How hard is it to take the mirrors apart and what order? This looks like a very good mod for us that are safety conscious.

 

[spyder-dude]

Anyone put these on the GS/RSS?

 

[SteveMac]

Yep. I've got a set sitting on my work bench. Plan on putting them before heading to SpyderFest!
I ordered mine off eBay as well, but Autozone has them just as cheaply. nojoke

$9.99 at Pep Boys. I like them. Put them on a few months ago.

 

[CyncySpyder]

Awesome $10 mod, great for safety, no drilling needed, easy install

You don't have to drill a small hole to fish the wires ?:dontknow:

 

[Yol Bolsun]

I 'notched' the mirrors only at the point of the arrows.

Anyone put these on the GS/RSS?

Yes, they take up a bit more room but I can still see behind me and I feel they add to my safety.

Another option if you don't want to give up valuable real estate on the mirror surface are these LED strips. I bought these labeled Pilot Phantom at Pep Boys but see them elsewhere. With my convex mirrors already taking up a little of the outboard space, I didn't want to lose any more. These strips are very bright and very visible from behind, from the side, and by my passenger. I seem to recall they were labeled "edge fire" or something like that. They are bright not only from the top surface of the strip but also one edge (not the other edge). End result is they are very visible from many angles. Mount them backwards, however, and you would do a great job of lighting up the inside of the mirror housing. The photo below is just using a 9V test battery during installation before putting the mirrors back on the bike.

I like that idea much better. Thanks for the tip! I am going to be searching for LED to do my whole bike and this would be a good addition as well.

Thanks,

Shawn

The plastic on the mirrors is fragile, the little clips can easily snap if the stars are not aligned, even with the most gentle hand. Service manual gives a better idea of how to go about it. Green manuals on eBay or at the dot com
