    New carbon ganador style mirrors

    These arrived recently and I quite like them. A bit bigger than the genuine ones but still have the indicator built in which is cool. Going to get them painted white and mounting plate made up and install asap.

    is the carbon fibre that bad looking?

    yes they do, the U.S guys update to our standard folding mirrors (becase theres are dont, there one single solid mirror),

    but id be careful all those mirrors are universal fit, ie the base plate is never correct.

    Ray if I may ask, how much was the Evo bonnet? I'd like to possibly look at getting one when I get from my trip. The factory one weighs a ton!

    No worries Ryan, bonnet was $800 but this is made in Japan so my thought was at least it's going to be best quality and full bolt on.
    Mirrors were $400 but due to issues I was given a discount on them.

    I take it that that is $800 excluding freight? It certainly is worth paying for quality.

    $800 from Japan to Auckland...unsure where in Auckland it goes to.
    It was then $60 I think from Auckland to Wellington so shouldn't cost you too much more than the $800.
