F1 style mirrors fitted
After fitting my ebay aeroscreen a couple of weeks ago I have not got and fitted some F1 style side mirrors.
I got them from M & P (motorbike stuff) here
They look similar to the ones that Russbost (Furore F!) is selling, but these are only £15.99 + £4.99 P&P a pair - bargain! Quality looks fine for
the price (and this is "Locost"builders, after all  ), but they would not be SVAable as they are because of the edges. Also, they are
probably on the small side at c. 110mmx50mm

I had a set of these on the F1-2.
They are now changed to bigger bike ones because they vibrated so much and are so small that I didn't feel confident changing lanes or
overtaking.

They look the business, i had my eye on something like them. Can you see much in them when at speed or is it all one big vibrating blur like most
seven mirrors?

I'll let you know tomorrow (or whenever the rain holds off long enough for me to get out!). Hopefully they don't wobble too much - the old
mirrors were aso fixed to the scuttle and they were OK.

Finally got out on Thursday for 15 miles or so. The mirrors are fine - almost no wobble except when you go over a bump.
Visibility is obviously less than "normal" size mirrors, but still seems OK
