Loose mirrors.

Hi Mike, definitely convex glass to give you a wide field of vision. I spent most of my working life driving, and flat glass is bloody awful, very narrow field and every slight vibration is exagerated.  Even the original Honda mirrors were very slightly convex.  Yes. they can be folded in, they work on a 'cam' type system, so one or two clicks and they are back in their original setting.

I ordered a pair; thanks!!!  :)

Received the mirrors today.  These are REALLY top quality items; I'm very impressed.  Where most bar-end mirrors (or bar-end weights) use rubber "tubes" that compress when you tighten a bolt to hold them in place, these use three steel tapered bushings with angled edges that cause them to "expand" as the bolt is tightened.  There is absolutely NO play/flex in the mounting.  The materials and finish are top notch.  They are far better quality than any other bar end mirror I have ever seen.  If you want bar end mirrors, buy them, you'll like them.  They are worth every penny!

Thanks Tricky for posting your reply/comment about them!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I'd ad this though it's weeks "late."  FWIW, the Honda (brand) mirrors are far better than the aftermarket mirrors.  DSS has both but, of course, the Honda mirrors cost a lot more!  The OEM Honda mirror area is slightly larger - the mirror occupies the full area of the circle, it does not have that black "gasket" around the edge.  They are also somewhat convex to provide a wider view, unlike the aftermarkets.  IMO, they are worth the money if you want standard mirrors.  You can actually see usefully to the rear, not just your elbows...though they WILL be in the view!  :)

These Halcyon Twins, just how expensive are they?
