Post QUESTION - LED mirror signals.

My bike is currently beig worked on at Kanes HD in Calgary. I have asked the to remove the stock signals from Under the bars and replace them with the mirror mounted signals. I love the look of these mirrors, but I have one question for anyone who has them.

Is there any glare on your windshield at night? The mirrors are positioned behind the windshield and I am wondering if they will cause glare. If so, how bad is it? I will know the answer in a few weeks but any imput or suggestions are appreciated.

It would help to know what kind of shield it is. The mirrors are typically aligned with the mirror angled back toward the rider. This would angle the signal light more outboard. While you may see the light reflecting off the shield, I doubt if it's going to be much of a glare problem.

Might depend on your individual setup, but I see no glare with mine at all.

Most mirrirs are outside the windshield, so it should not be an issue.
