Aftermarket mirror replacement for 99+ SS

lgalang · #1 (**permalink**) 02-05-2007, 04:24 PM

Does anyone know an aftermarket side mirror replacement for 99+ SS? The ones being sold here at zillla are color-matched (I like black or carbon) and a little too expensive than what I want to spend. I want a little rounder in shape than the OEM square’ish look.

Thanks!

these are the cheapest (and uglist) ones i have ever seen.

cut out the starbucks/beer for a month and buy some CRGs.

I was thinking more on the line of fairing mount. The CRG’s are less than $100 so I’m cool with that and since you got me interested; do you have photos of it installed? What kind of bolts did you use to cover/bolt the fairing? Photos too if you have that as well.

i thought they were under $100 also, till i found out that is the price for each, then you have to buy the mounting brackets. but they are worth it. do a search and there are tons of pics. they really are worth the money. they look nice, fold back, don't vibrate, and clean up the bike lines. good luck.

i used some chrome allen bolts from ace hardware. in fact, i replaced all the ulgy "gold wanna-be" fairing bolts.

DO IT. people will think you are crazy for buying $240 mirrors, but whatever. they are cool, look good, and perform well.... what else is there?

I had the GRGs on my Monster and they clean up the look of the bike, they work well and are very nice quality. The biggest downside to these mirroes is you have to move your entire head down and left/right to look in the mirror. This isn't always a big deal but that split second of looking down to glance vs. a quick eye shift with the stock mirrors can be hazardous.
