mirror use feedback

Hello,
Has anyone used the replacement mirrors (that look like stock, for $50) or the carbon-look racing mirrors (1 bolt, $19) that come up on the ebay search?
I was interested in the quality.
I can't tell from the posts how well the r6 mirrors work, stock.
Thank you.
Darren

Everthing you need to know is in the "broken mirror" post. I have the r6 mirrors and like them very much. From ebay $34.95 at your door.

And you may want to consider mirror extenders so that whatever mirrors you do put on, that you can actually see whats behind you.

inderocker is an unknown quantity at this point
I've purchased a pair of the reproduction VTR mirrors off Ebay. They are actually a high quality product.... better than many other reproduction mirrors I've bought for other bikes.

I installed these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Moto...1%7C240%3A1318
They look good, but the extenders I used makes it look very different.

bumping an old post, but i bought those POS single bolt mirrors. waste of money haha and im not kidding. they SORT of work, i mean like....10-20% effective compared to stock. the image is very distrorted and they vibrate to all hell. i got the solid black instead of CF, but still the same thing.

spend the extra money on decent oem replacement or oem mirrors (im actually ok with the oem mirrors, i can see quite well with them.)
