yes they work!!! ordered from tony yesterday arrived this morning -thats what i call service-- on the bike by 2o'clock -on the road by 10 past 2 enjoyed the somewhat chilly 100 mile ride but now can see behind me to overtake a few more cars!!!! much more fun-----also tony gave me a little tip that i also tried, to lessen the carb icing problem-that also seemed to work, turn the trumpets on top of the airbox away from the front so not so much cold air is being forced into the airbox-i managed about an eight'h of a turn to the side i may try turning them towards each other on my next ride-- with the ultimate unleaded, shell pro fst and turning the trumpets the carb icing is virtually eliminated now

Cheers

sorry nat,
havent got a piccie(no digital camera) but there is one on another thread somewhere on the site- they do look a bit bulky and some may consider that they look cack,but being a rather broad shouldered build i find them a neccessity for a safer ride- but i was wondering wether to paint them red as per other threads with the plastikote paint available from halfords to help disguise them a bit, i might paint the mirrors as well but then it may just be too much red----or is it a case that you just cant have too much red!!!

do you know if anyone has tried the trumpet turning idea with any success?

They look OK actually dont they..? Are they good quality? Painted or anodised ?

Not sure I know anyone whos tried the trumpet turning idea..certainly cant do any harm and sounds a good idea in principal..?

they are an injection moulding black plastic, pretty light wieght- delivered with screws to fit as well --- ok i know they aint carbon bling- purely functional and practical

Nat,

I have been wondering about alternative makes of mirror, for all the same reasons. There are some pretty nice options that would add an extra inch each side and probably look a little less "barn door" like.
