VFR750F3 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Had to drill a hole through the opposite side where the wire runs through because I flipped it so the mirror base fits perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer bmart Posted February 18 Member Contributer Share Posted February 18 Does this make the blinkers more or less visible to other drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR750F3 Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Not my intent for visibility nevertheless they are bright. I only purchased due to removing front turn signals and installing projector headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer raYzerman Posted February 19 Member Contributer Share Posted February 19 I like that idea....... can you share where you bought them?? Edit add: As an alternative, on my 5th Gen I got new signal lights from AliExpress, and they are a clearer amber and let more light through than the OEM's. One caution, their sonic welds are poor, so remove the lenses and silicone them in place. I then converted the bulbs to LED, and am quite impressed with the additional brightness and conspicuity of the running lights, and of course the signals are much brighter as well. I got the bulbs at SuperbrightLED's. Changed the flasher to LED compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JZH Posted February 21 Member Contributer Share Posted February 21 I found them on Amazon and AliExpress. They're called Mirror Block-off Plates, and they're not really designed to be used with mirrors, but that's a good adaptation! Regardless of whether they're used with mirrors or without, it doesn't look like the LEDs are really pointed in the right direction for signaling, but it still might work okay. Which other Hondas have the same mirror mounts as VFRs? The ones you used appear to have a 40mm bolt-spacing, and they are listed by "SMT MOTO" as being suitable for: 1999-2000 CBR 600 F4 2001-2006 CBR 600 F4i 2003-2011 CBR 600 RR / CBR600RR 2000-2001 CBR 900 RR 929 / CBR900RR 2002-2003 CBR 900 RR 954 / CBR900RR 2004-2007 CBR 1000RR / CBR1000RR / Fireblade (But I would never trust a listing--always measure things yourself!)

VFR750F3 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 The spacing is correct. Mirrors afterwards have a different spacing and a wider mounting surface for example my CBR1000RR-R w integrated turn signals which I tried. I wanted integrated ones but I wanted the stock look. Also mounting these extend your mirrors without having to purchase mirror extenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
