I bought these for $30 including shipping and am very happy with them.
I have seen reviews for demon cycles mirrors but not these so I figured I would make this.

I asked to include the mounting screws for the yamaha stryker and they were added free of charge. They are all metal and do not vibrate at all around 60 mph. I haven't gone faster yet.

The size of the actual mirror is perfect. My only complaint so far is the length of the arm. Since the stock right mirror is lower than the left, The mirror will not pivot as high as I would prefer. Wish they had made the arms slightly taller but overall I am very happy with my purchase.

I think that they are made by the same manufacturer that makes the ones for Demon's Cycle. I have the same ones from DC but in chrome. I adjusted the brake lever a hair to get the mirror to sight correctly.

I had seen these mirrors in black before and I wondered why they weren't on the demons cycle website. They are literally the exact same thing as the "Z" mirrors.

I have the chrome ones as well. I absolutely love them. I thought it would be quite difficult to see with them, but once you get them adjusted, they work beautifully.

Great quality, awesome design and fantastic price.

I got the same mirrors from EBay $24 shipped . Received mirrors in 3 days
I adjusted the levers also to get where I needed them .
Really pleased with them ,can see a lot more than I thought .
I say the same ones and was thinking about ordering them (batman mirrors) wasn't sure about quality. So I guess it's okay to get them now. Thanks for being my guinea pig :))))))))))

Sorry I didn't see anybody responded until now. I absolutely love them. Took less than a week to get them. Quality is very good, all metal but know that not all mirrors on this site are. They tell you what each of them are made of. Also gave me the necessary hardware. I too had to adjust my right lever but now it's perfect.

Sorry to jack the thread but how was the finish on your mirrors? I bought the same (or similar) set off eBay for $24 and received them today. The finish is horrible (rough and the "tips" of the mirrors were missed) and there are quite a few nicks/chips. For $24, I'm not too upset. I hit the spots with a black sharpie but will prob disassemble, tape the mirror and adjuster, scuff then throw some new paint on them.

I bought some similar mirrors from demonscycle a while back, and was pretty happy with them. I will say, though, that I probably would not buy anything more expensive from them. I was doing some research on some rolling chassis they sell - for crazy cheap prices like everything else - and found some pretty bad horror stories about their customer service and product quality. Like selling engines with all the fins smashed in and blaming the customer, or leaving an axle out of the package and stringing people along for 4 months instead of replacing it.

I only bought the mirrors from them, and that experience was good. I'm just saying do your research before you throw any serious money their way.

This is a duplicate of another post in a different thread but It should probably go here instead...


SOOoooo...

Less than a year later and I have F*****d around with those mirrors for the last time.
No matter WHAT you do you will not get the studs, or adapters to fully lock into the mirror stem and the stem will spin on the stud.

I tried red loctite, Blue loctite, HEII I even tried GREEN loctite and that stuff is made to seat Nic-o-sil cylinders in place in engine blocks, then I tried Gorilla Glue... I guess if I was going to keep the mirrors I would try drilling through the stem and the stud and tapping a loc pin into it to keep these pieces of crap from loosening up.

Instead I went back to the stock mirrors for now.
I really like the look of mirrors with turn signals built in to them.
Anyone have any suggestions what works best or where to shop for them?

Weird you had trouble keeping them tight. I originally bought the same in black for my bike. I had them on for last season, but found I couldn't see behind me in one mirror. I changed mine out to the scythe mirrors.
I took the mirrors from my bike and put them on my wife's V-star where they are still today (her shoulders are a tad narrower than me, so vision behind isn't an issue). No issues with fitment or becoming loose from riding. Once they were adjusted and tightened, I haven't had to touch them.
When I first received the mirrors from Zillion8, the nut that tightens against the perch was installed on the threads backwards and needed to be turned around. Once I turned it around it looked as if there wouldn't be enough thread for a good thread insertion for proper installation, but it worked perfectly.
I only used blue loctite on the portion that goes into the mirror. The other side into the stock housings in the perch, just tightened it down and snugged up the lock nut once they were in proper alignment

I did order some stuff from them again in May of this year and it seems as if they may be having issues with reliability. I still haven't gotten my shipment. I can't get a reply out of them through their contact on the site, nor from replying to some of my previous emails from my original purchases. They were great for shipping, but maybe something has changed. Too late to claim back through PayPal (45 days maximum). Lesson learned, and anyone else thinking of ordering may want to try emailing first to see if they at least respond.

I had trouble ordering thru them. I asked for the Yamaha mirror adaptor, which they didn't send. So I emailed them back and they eventually sent the new adaptor, which when the box arrived had only a packing slip with no part. Emailed them again and never heard back. The chrome was also discolored on one is the mirrors. So I bought a pair of Arlen Ness RAD 111 mirrors and never looked back.

I'll most likely go to the Scythe mirrors also, in chrome.
The cheapies stayed tight until one mirror got bumped while dismounting the bike and the other was moved while removing a cover.
If you try to readjust them the whole thing breaks loose.
Garbage, with way too much gap between the mating threads.
Threads shouldn't wobble up to the point of tightening the nut.

Oh well, lesson learned.
You get what you pay for.

Thanks for the heads-up on their lousy service as of late too.
