^^^^ by the time you spent all that money and time you could have bought Rizomas...... ;D

If that were the case, I would have gotten them (or CRG's) in the first place.

Unfortunately the truth is those chinese knockoffs are so cheap in comparison that these three pairs together so far have cost me less than half of what one Rizoma or CRG would. There are other factors than just list price: postage, customs fees and VAT. The chinamen send these with free postage and they are so cheap that no VAT or customs fees are collected.

That's why I'm trying them first to see if I like the style (the rizoma reverse retro copy and I did not like them). If these CRG copys are good, I might put in the good ~300 euros for the real ones. Otherwise I'll just go and buy me bike a pair of black mickey mouse ears next... :D

I have the Rizoma Class mirrors on my 796 (the standard, non-bar-end version).  They look great, but the view isn't any better than the stock mirrors.  I was hoping to improve he view as well as the look.

Is there an indigenously designed mirror from China....one actually fabricated by them from scratch or are they all counterfeits?

This is an insult to the Pez community

Those mirrors are defiantly looking good.  Sadly I would tear the paint off the cars splitting lanes here in Cali with those.  I know you poor folks up there don't have to worry about as you can't legally split lanes.  Holy SHIT!  I just found something California did right with motorcycles!!!!

 Maybe the reason why they cost more is the solidity and lack of vibration???

I really like these mirrors that I have now. Really good rear visibility.

I had a lady in a camry try to squish me the other day on 10 leaving Santa Monica. 20 mph between two cars and I give a couple horn blips requesting more space between the car mirrors.
Her windows were open so I know she heard me, but then she started moving in on me. My shoulder was leaning on the other car until it gave me more space.

I am pretty sure that classifies as attempted man slaughter. I was too nice. Next time she is losing a mirror. I think that can be classified as self defense right?

I try to keep cool and take honest mistakes for honest mistakes but I have zero doubt that this was intentional.

I prefer not to split lanes, but my baby girl gets grumpy if I hold her under 20 for too long.
