they are pricey but really like the clean look. The only thing I ran into was the mirror mounting shaft is almost too short. I put loctite on just to make sure they stay. I’m going to change the mirrors soon anyway but you think they would have included the proper mounting nuts to adapt.

i had to cut the plugs off the old light to soldier onto these for them to plug in so if you want to save your old ones you need to find a set of used ones to cut the plugs off

Stinks that you couldn’t de-pin and repin to the stock plug. But soldering isn’t that big of a deal either.

True, I just don’t have the tools and pieces to accomplish so soldering them was the next best thing.

Well done. Looking good.

How is do you like the wind shield? I’ve read tons of reviews and they’re all over the place with a lot not liking do to the crazy buffering they experience. I sometimes commute to work about 40 miles each way and easily hit 85mph for the majority of the distance. I’ve been hesitant to pull the trigger on it. I’m 5’11” ish.

the taller one does it too when in stock position, I had to raise it to the top of the forks to get it high enough. Mounted high and with some fangs, the buffeting is gone. But, it all depends on how tall you are, since that will dictate where your head sits in the airstream.
