Mirrors

Post by TonyW650 »

Hi Guys
What mirrors will fit the storm with not to much modding?
I remember seeing a set on mr mons storm and I'm sure they had inbuilt indicators?
thats the sort of thing I'm after
cheers

got mine off ebay for 12 quid, had to use the standard storm elbow bits as the ones that come with these make the mirrors sit to high! the arms on these are longer than the storm and i can see what behind me now! normally my mate and the slower blue storms!!! :biggrin

You can get them cheaper, just search ebag and try different search words, mirrors, indicators, indy mirrors, etc.
mirror with indicator.

They come black or with fake carbon.
Usually you can get them for less than £20, but that'll be from Hong Kong or China.

The wires for the LED's are really thin, though, putting connectors on is a pain. You have to solder.

When I fitted mine I drilled two small holes, one under each side, just under the mirror mount, so that you can feed the wire through and keep it tucked under the rubber boot, so it can't be seen.
But even with heat shrink fitted the wires can flex until they snap, so leave enough spare length so that you can shorten and re-terminate.

Lastly the bolts they come with are held in the standard shoe by their hex heads, and they wear the plastic after a few times taking them on and off.
Use a cap head Allen machine screw instead, stainless. and matching nuts, you can use dome nuts but don't have to; Nylock will be fine, but even ordinary ones don't
seem to vibrate loose.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
