Default Rivco LED Mirrors

Just wondering if anyone has tried these mirrors, they look pretty good, just looking for a second opinion. They appear to have some good reviews

I had to look to see what they were. Mirrors with lights? Not my thing.

I have the black ones and they are awesome. They are nice quality and the LED's are bright. I would most definitely buy them again.

Thanks for the input racerkvn, they look very well made and from what I have read they make there customers happy. I did order them, should have them tomorrow, just another project to get done. I have read nothing but bad reviews for the HD version of the LED lit mirrors.

I think I will wait to install them until I purchase some low mounted flood lights to make up for the rather focused stock lighting, might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

That's cool.. it looks like they would serve two purposes though

clean up your bars a little

I got a set of V-Rod Muscle mirrors with the turn signal lights in the mirror stem cheap off E-Bay.

They look good as well, I especially like the Rivco's as they have both running lights and a set of signal in front and side of the mirror. I was looking at HD's but found too many complaints about short life.

I have similar mirrors from Kuryakin, but they only have the LED's on the back side. They have held up well, and you can get flat glass instead of concave, which I prefer. They were also a hundred bucks cheaper.

I have the Rivco mirrors from a prior bike. They get you noticed by the cagers. On my first ride with them I saw cagers across the intersection looking right at me when I activated them. They work well. I want to install them on my 2015 Road Glide and run the wires inside the handlebars. Has anyone completed that installation? There does not appear to be clearance for the wiring without drilling into the switch housing. Any advice would be appreciated.

I had to drill a small hole in the under side of the switch housings to feed the wires through. I think I drilled a 3/16" or a 1/4" hole. The wire isn't obviously noticeable and you would never know the hole was drilled unless you were under there looking for it.

They are very nice mirrors.
