Quality - Nice feel to them, not sure what the metal is but they aren't light weight, ball joint is firm but not as bad as I've heard.
Came with Metric adapters which was good - but then again no bloody use at all - read on.
Fitting - The OEM mirrors on my T-Bird screw directly into the bolt and the hole on the handle bar equipment isn't threaded, so you don't need the metric adapters (I.e don't buy separate ones).
So I had to jiggle with a combination of washers and different bolt lengths (from ACE) to get the right fit. I also used the One Inch lock nut as a small riser, without the riser the base of the mirrors were too tight against the cables. Because I used the 'riser' the fit against the grips wasn't as clean as I would like and I used some neoprene washers to ensure it was snug. However everything tightened down nicely in the end.
Electrics - My first thought was to run these as solo indicators and remove the OEM's for a cleaner front end, but you have to take the front wheel off to remove the original lamps - no - thanks, at this point. So I wired them into the existing circuits inside the main headlight. This was easy enough and meant I didn't need to add any resistors for the LED's.
Performance - The daylight running LED's aren't as bright as I expected, but the mirrors are clear and don't vibrate any worse than the OEM's, I think the in mirror turn LED's are cool and show up well, the positioning is good and again isn't worse than the OEM's.
Overall - I'm happy with them - looks good, works as planned and relatively easy to install. A bit pricey for mirrors though.
Yes - Pictures would be good wouldn't they :) I'll add some later
