Great product. I did not have to remove the second mirror to install the lights once I figured out how the install was going to go.

It's all about being seen, Front,Back and Sides. You hardly notice them until you need to let someone know your intentions to turn. I'm happy with them.

I’m giving this product a 4-star rating for a couple of reasons. But first the good. I liked the small design of the product and the final result is great. It’s actually designed to catch the attention of the cager next to you and I think it does a good job of that. The instructions are spot on and it installed exactly as described. I didn’t use the plug & play harness because I have no problem soldering. Plus it saved me $20 bucks. After splicing and soldering the wires I just taped them up with quality electrical tape. Now for a few gripes. No matter how much I cleaned the back of the mirror the double stick tape wouldn’t stick to the back of the mirror it kept coming off. I had to take a piece of sand paper and scuff up the plastic, which solved the problem. The second complaint is the cost. When you take it out of the box you’ll see what I mean. But as I’m quickly learning everything for a wing is overpriced. As a side note if you have Baker hand wings it makes installing a little more time consuming. Expect to put aside at least 30-45 minutes to install these. It states in the description that you need plug adapters @ $9.95 ea. You don’t need these if you solder the connections described in the installation manual. Good Luck.

Very keen design and installed without too much trouble. Visibility is perfect at the angles where you want people to be able to see them, and the added shield to keep them from blinding the driver is nice engineering foresight. I had to cut the plug off and solder the wires in place on my Wing because I didn't have the other Kuryakin kit that was mentioned in the instructions. The included 1-inch of shrink tubing was a nice touch and made finishing the project easier, but it was not mentioned in the instructions. I bet some people don't realize what it's there for.

I had these installed when I bought my 1800 last August. I really like them. Could they be more visible? Sure. But hey, if it allows the folks driving near you in a cage to know what you are up to, it has to make your riding experience safer!

Awesome product and looks great. Installation was not as straight forward as the instructions. I had to completely remove my mirror housing. Installation took me about 90 minutes, but I also installed the stealth II side lights which are also awesome

Great product. A must have! Honda should put on turn signal mirrors as standard equipment. Others have mentioned you can't see them in the daylight. They're aimed to the rear/side view, so people behind and beside you can see them. They're just as visible in daylight as truck mirror signals. A low cost for a safety fix.

They match colors perfectly with the rest of the Kury parts. Installation was a 15 minute total event. I have one MAJOR gripe however. They attach to the back of the mirror and fit between the edge of the mirror and the housing. The design is such that I cannot push the mirrors out all the way anymore, as the lights rub and jam against the housing. This makes about 1/3 of my mirror unusable, but I do get a great view of the front of my knuckles and arms up to the shoulders. Second problem is that when the mirrors are even in this position, the trailing edge of the lights are even with the end of the mirror housing. This means that light only escapes through a very small gap between the mirror and the housing, effectively minimizing their intended function, which is to serve as a warning to motorists in your blind spot beside you that you are changing lanes, further exacerbated by the fact that you now have a larger blind spot due to the inability to move your mirrors out all the way. For the money, they are much cheaper than the mirror replacement that has the LEDs in it, but perhaps if you HAVE the money, you should consider the full mirror replacement. Still bright at night and is far better than nothing and when used in conjunction with other blinking LEDs like the Stealth II light, fork tower LEDs, LED reflector conversion, and arrow head LEDs, it further attracts attention which is the point I guess.

I had my local GREAT service dept @ Honda of Norfolk install this for me during regular service. It works great as an added side & rear viewable turn signal. Very happy w/this product. Not very visible in the daylight but an excellent product @ night.

I have these on my '08 Wing... the mirrors are adjusted all the way out, and they are still plenty bright at night... during the day, I can't say there is much advantage to them...

One of the first things I put on my 2004 Goldwing and I'm glad to say they still work great, other riders comment on how well they can see them when I signal. Great safety feature.

Fairly simple to install, just follow the instructions and read them first PRIOR to starting the install. I like the looks of the lights after they are installed. Cannot really see them when I am riding but should give others another view of what I am planning on doing.

Not too tough to install. Looks good from the rear and sides but does not distract from the cockpit. Wiring is a little challenging but it worked out fine. Stays in place. Recommend.

Adds another visual warning which I believe is invaluable. Installation can be a little challenging. You will also need the wireing adaptor.

Very nice looking, and don't look like aftermarket. They are VERY visible from behind/beside, but not at all distrating from the seat. Recommend getting these with the companion "Stealth Light II"

This is also something that should come stock on the wing. Very good product can be seen in the day too. Easy install .

I like these lights, but then again I like any extra lights. Anything you can do to make youurself more visible is a safety factor. They look good and will help communicate your lane changes to the vehicle coming up on your side. Remember, if you are on a motorcycle, you are invisible.

I have a 2005 Yellow GW with a LOT of lights for riding at night / safety / visibility. The pictures look better than the product performs. Other reviews hit it exactly when they speak of being recessed in the housing and not as visible as desired. I would NOT use these lights again, they are a dissapointment
