They look expensive which means they also look good. Do they stay put?

Yes, they stay put.  Thanks, I think they're nice too.  :grin: 

The glass surface area is at least 75% that of the OEM mirrors, but they are about half the size and weight.  These are billet, and the glass is blue (like most/all of Rizoma stuff).  The adjustability is somewhat limited because of the angle of the mount on the fairing, but they can be move around quite a bit.

I do like the looks of your bike,,,,,,,,,,,,,,OK, not how much but, where did you get them?
Can a person buy them on the internet?
I "FALL DOWN" last May am going to fix/upgrade my 2001 1200S. Have you noticed any difference in stopping on the new rotors?
Thanx
Brent

Thanks Brent!

I got the mirrors from PJsParts.com.  I've done business there before, and I will again -- great service, and they are the only/one of the few importers of Rizoma billet goodies.

I have noticed a BIG difference with the rotors, and that was after I replaced the OEM lines with Spiegler braided stainless steel lines.  :grin:

The downside to the much improved braking is that I notice the front end dive even more.  :sad:  I have the preload screws down nearly all the way, but it looks like my fork revalve/respring will come sooner rather than later.

I got the Galfers from eBay (atvrentalcenter) and they drop-shipped from Galfer.  On the sellers eBay page, they list rotors by motorcycle make, model and year.

From order to delivery was 7 days.  The rotors came with Galfer pads and no additional shipping charges.  From my online shopping, it looked like a good deal.  The eBay retailer was fast to reply to messages, and appeared to send my order to Galfer immediately.

Those mirrors look awesome RDUBandit. Are you still liking them? Is the peripheral view better than the stock mirrors? Any problems with vibrations?

I still love the mirrors!  However, the peripheral view is not as good as with the OEM mirrors.  I think that this is more due to how low I have them positioned (they're pretty low) than the limitations of the mirrors.

New pics (ceramic coated headers and a few other new goodies -- carbon fiber exhaust on the way):

The stock headers are what got ceramic coated.  The $125 was the cost of the ceramic coating.  Sorry for the confusion.  :grin:
