The mirrors are ok but small and as such we can not detail as much what's following us than larger ones. They cover more ground than the stock ones.

love the handguards but not a huge fan of the mirrors. had to mount the handguards slightly lower than I would have normally just so I could adjust the mirrors so I could see behind me. I usually end up wrapping electrical tape around the mirror and handguard when I tuck them in for trail riding because a few jumps later they tend to start dropping out below the handguard.

The mirrors work great. I cut a space out of the plastic handguard for a better fit on the mirror. They fold in when hitting brush, trees or even when the bike is completely layed down. I'm getting in the habit of folding them in when I go through narrow singletrack.

i thought the mirrors were going to be too small for the street but they are fine .. only mirrors i use now

i also cut the shields but instead of the a notched space like rmax did, i just curved them down and just made them shorter .. i originally cut notches but thought the edges were too sharp and not too safe

here is a pic, i also have the integrated turn signals in the shields

HDB stuff is incredibly well finished. The WR I'm getting comes with Zeta Handguards and Integrated Blinkers and Mirrors, and I'm still thinking about getting HDB handguards. Paul who owns it is a stand up guy too.
