Default Axe led mirrors

I was looking at these mirrors but haven't found much in way of reviews on them. Has anyone seen them or have them on their bike? If so what do you think?

I'd be interested if they weren't so small. I like to see things in my mirrors, not just parts of things.

Don't get me wrong, I think they'd look better on something besides my bike, and I ride alot in high traffic freeways. If I did a different kind of riding on something besides a bagger, I'd be more interested. I'm still wondering how the lights would go with a Ducati, actually. It could use more lights, without adding stalks.

i was looking hard at these mirrors months ago, I was ready to pull the trigger, but then I came across my current setup for DIRT cheap. Viewtech 2 mirrors, no LED, but very minimal.

the problem I saw with the Axe mirrors, is there isnt much stalk to them, so they would be very close to your hand, also wouldnt give a great viewing angle.

If I could find a set used, I might get them, but I'm not risking my $$$ for something I most likely wont keep.

Waste of money. I have em on my bike now. They're for show only.
There's no way to adjust them to see anything behind you!
Worst mod ever done. Its like having no mirrors at all.
The only positive thing I can say is LEDs are bright and work nicely.
I'm tossing these things and going to look into replacing them with V-Rod mirrors.

Thanks. I almost got them but I'm glad I didn't. Now to find a set of led mirrors that look good and work. If anyone has an idea please chime in.

Rode with them today. The only thing I could see was the top of my hands. No way to adjust them. Looking into other options.
