Better rear view...less vibration, must have cost about twenty quid.

Probably not so COOL though.

regards to all,
What did you do about blanking the holes Phil? The RWB BCR carbon thingies are a bit on the pricey side.

The Mamola BCR's still have the mirrors in the original position, although when I broke a mirror I used my old GS ones on the bars like you say until I could find a replacement
This may sound completely daft...but I filled the hole with, wait for it... Plasticine. I then cut two blanks of the right shape from the self adhesive carbon fibre look alike sheet. after two or three years one of them is beginning to peel a bit, so I shall have to cut a couple more blanks. as you say the carbon thingies are pricey.

Regards to all,
Neat idea, I have a roll of that carbon sticker stuff at home .... you obviously were a Blue Peter fan :)
