Added some hand guards today... simple install and look pretty good.
Jury is out on the mirrors but they are quite functional so far.
The LED's on the handguards are BRIGHT!!
I tapped into the marker light wiring under the windshield for switched power.
The kit comes with a switch if you want to hard wire into the battery and have a stand-alone switch for on/off.

I'd love to upload an image but I keep getting presented with an IMGBB upload page that does nothing after I select the images.
Not sure what to do.
Edit: works on mobile Chrome in desktop mode but not on PC Chrome or Explorer. . . Weird!

I'm on the fence on the look. They look pretty cool, but the finish difference throws me off. The mirror portion looks a little quirky as well. Not dawgin' ya, just some of my opinions. As long as you like 'em, and they work for you, more power to your mod.  Grats on the addition! |

I rode up to the bike shop today and there were several people outside and every one of them commented on how mean it looked coming down the road and into the parking lot. I think it just looks bad ass with the lights on and the mirrors aren't as noticeable when there's a person on the bike. Just one of those things I guess. I'm not in love with it until the lights are turned on and then it looks awesome. |

Thanks for the pictures,the first one with all lights on is very impressive,i am all for being seen and that definitely seems to do the trick. I do like the look of these hand guards,but unfortunately i also think that the mirrors on them is a bit too much.

I may switch to some bar end mirrors instead. |

whoa, that's different....I think I like it. The functionality is very cool. Convex mirrors for a wide angle view? That's pretty cool.

Do you have any pictures of how you mounted them on the bars? I would like to buy a set of these, however looking at my bars I don't see where there would be space to mount them.

Which mounting kit part number did you buy with them? they offer several options. It would be sweet if they offered an amber option.

Damn, it looks super aggresive, like a full transformers vehicle indeed. Ha ha. But yeah, the mirrors are a letdown, especially from the front, and with a visible nut. How do you adjust them? And without the mirrors you'd still have those ugly appendages, no? So might as well add the mirrors. Anything else would look ever worse, so for me I'd leave them alone. As long as they're functional, which they look that way, all should be well. I agree with the lights on the mirror ugliness is mostly lost. Haven't seen any other alternative, so good find for those who need/want it  . |
