not that I know of. If you decide to test them out, the installation will be something like this:

I am more worried about how the quality is, as shipping them back wouldn't be worth the cost. I like the thinner design of the turn signals over the wider ones

kevlar250 · April 25th, 2012, 06:38 AM

Yes, a friend put them on his EX500 to replace a broken stock one. Quality is OK but not great. the LED's are very dim, can hardly see them in daylight. He left the ugly stock blinkers on until he can get some good LED flushmounts.

zCasanova · April 26th, 2012, 03:53 PM

Any pictures of these on a ninjette?

AmplexorJ · April 27th, 2012, 03:52 PM

they look cheap. I dont like 'em. Wish they LED's were a little more integrated.

mane210 · April 27th, 2012, 04:41 PM

I just install those on my 2011 and they are good. I like them, they have a better view range and the LEDs are a bit dim because they are "smoke" overall they look great I like them and make the bike look good too. I didn't even had to replace the fuse or relay just splice the wires and look and work great

Trailerboy531 · April 27th, 2012, 05:00 PM

Yep, I tried them

Let's just say I am back to stock mirrors now.

PITA and total crap quality.

@gilmorec61 is using them.

Was it the viewing area or just all crap in general?

At that price though...wonder if you can just change the led out for a brighter one

Trailerboy531 · April 30th, 2012, 10:11 PM

The viewing area was not as good.

They looked nice...

They broke easily. I TAPPED one on my friends trash can and it broke off at the base of the stem. I was walking the bike and hit a plastic friggen can and the thing broke off.

The other one died a few weeks later when, long story short, I hit the back of a car doing 10mph or less. As I hit I watched the mirror break off (while I was flying up in to the air but that's neither here nor there...)

It's important to note the mirror didn't hit the other car...just the force of tapping the car made the mirror break off...at the stem.

Screw those mirrors.

I don't know if I would consider hitting a car at 10MPH tapping it but thanks for the info

The guy talks about those mirrors at about 1:40 in this video.

on a side note, the bike in that video might be the most retarded thing I've ever seen in my life.

You sure about that? It really isn't that bad.

jdoucet93 · May 1st, 2012, 02:41 PM

lol well those are pretty bad. I was mostly talking about the 4 inch drop. The only thing that could have made it worse would have been a nice 6-10 inch stretched swingarm...

choneofakind · May 1st, 2012, 02:44 PM

idk. it's not right to do what that dude did to the green bike. Looks terrible, damages itself by riding, has no leaning ability, sounds terrible and just plain loud. And all on stock tires still. He took away the most fun aspects of the 250

I've made a thread about that bike before.

gilmorec61 · May 1st, 2012, 02:53 PM

I honestly haven't had a problem with them breaking or anything. To me the LED's are fine. I know i tried testing them one time when the bike was off, and they were dim as crap and i was like da fuk?? But then i turned the bike on and the blinkers were about as bright as the stock ones id imagine. Ive had them on for 3000 miles and havent had a single problem with them except vibrations, and them moving a little which can be fixed with some loctite.

For some reason, I really hope that's a dude's bike just so it would be that much more funny.
