New toys arrived today from Taiwan Big Scooter Shop!
I ordered a set of the forward-mount mirrors, with the hope that they would help narrow the profile of my bike to make filtering between cars in gridlock traffic a little easier. A constant necessity in a city of 23 million people who all insist on driving cars for some strange reason! I was forever slapping the cars' mirrors with my own, or having to do the 'wiggle and shimmy' dance to avoid them.
Plus, I think they look pretty bad-ass. ;)
I was all stoked to put them on myself, and then realized I didn't have the right size socket wrench for the windshield bolts. No worries, there's a bike shop on every block and my guy down the street put the on for 10 bucks!
The kit was $85 plus $20 shipping from T.B.S.S. on eBay.
Here's shots from the install:

So far so good...it's going to take a little getting used to, but it seems to be easier to glance over at the mirrors in that position- don't have to move my head at all like I did with the bar-mounted ones. The profile is not quite as narrow as I had expected, but I think it will be an improvement nonetheless. It's after rush hour here, so I won't have a chance to see if they really help with filtering in traffic until tomorrow.

Very nice !
I have a couple of boxes of carbon fiber look stuff I'm going to put as soon as I get home.
The guys at Big Taiwan are good people. Found stuff they didn't even have for me !
I was going to go for the forward mirrors but the way I ride I'd rip them off I'm no time.
Look out here I come .! Lol

Those look cooler than hell! Had NO idea they even existed.
Thanks for sharing that. Maybe edit the title of the post to include "you have to see this". I thought it was a post asking where to buy mirrors.
