Who needs those heavy ass electric wing mirrors right ?? We need some tiny lightweight bike mirrors the size of a postage stamp ! Nightmare when harnessed in and trying to see if anyone is coming when pulling out! :lol:

Will do some more updates tommorow...

New wing mirrors is an interesting/unique mod and the old electric folding ones definitely do weigh quite a bit, personally I'd much rather have good visibility for maneuvering though (even on a track) :?
I think the oem non-electric fold mirrors are quite a bit lighter?

Thanks :D

It never let me down.

Is it still running without problems?

The mirrors actually have pretty good rear visibility certainly enough for track , problems only arise when driving on the road with the harrnesses. Taking a chunk out of the exhaust is my usual concern might have to upgrade to a bigger bore system which sits a little higher!

Tom I had an issue with the crank pulley working loose, this damaged the pulley and ended up with me buying a full set of underdrive pulleys from the US otherwise it's been trouble free motoring !

maybe if you modify the original baseplate or one of those from an aftermarket set of mirrors they will sit further out
