Not like that. Those probably would work better than the razor style I have.
I would like to try the mirrors that come stock on the V-Rod Muscle. They look like this.
What would be involved in getting them to work? The stock Dyna signals have three connector wires. The V-Rod only has two wires.
I saw someone use Custom Dynamics LEDs taped under the hand controls on their bike a while back. Looked pretty good.
I can't find the link now that I considering going that route. Don't know what would be involved in them getting to work.

I have the HD LED mirrors / turn signals on my bike and like them a lot.
The only negative to them is that they don't have a telltale on the glass side of the mirror, so you can't see if it's flashing or not. But then again, there's already a telltale in the instrument panel.
They also have only two wires - power and ground, but function as running lights (so LEDs always on), then flash for the turn indication.
They come with a set of "Y" harnesses that connect the mirrors to the stock wiring. There is a small circuit board in the the Y harness that presumably takes the three wire input and converts it to a two wire feed to the mirrors.

I installed the V-Factor LED turn Signals and I am happy with the results.
They are a 3 wire light, install wasn't to bad... the hardest part is getting to the harness in the frame under the tank. You have to fish them out through the openings which are plugged at the neck of the bike.
They function as a running light, then blink when turn signal on, and they have an LED indicator light for the turn signal function in the mirror side (3 small red lights blink)

It's a lot easier if you take the tank off and drop the wiring out through the bottom of the frame top rail. There's a little elastic door type thingy you can pull out and then get good access to all the wiring.

You are correct, I did that too, but because I wanted to run the new turn signal wires in the existing shrink tube (that houses all the other wiring) I needed access from both sides to fish the wire through with a hanger.
