The replacement set held up for a few weeks before I noticed a spot in the very center of the right side mirror. This set has not spotted as drastically as the first set did, but some de-silvering has occurred. The left mirror also has a warped spot in the corner, too. The black color has faded as well, and only after 4 months of winter use. Based on my experience, and my experience alone, I can't recommend these mirrors to anyone. It's a shame -- I love how they look. I'm actually looking at a set of CRGs instead. I returned the first set to Motostrano.

I’m actually looking at a set of CRGs instead.

Done a few mods so far, but I totally hate my mirrors, and this is something I keep coming back to. I've been looking at all kinds of different things, and seeing what you've done to your SV, I love it. Don't love the spots, though. Are they still there, and are they getting worse?

I totally hate waiting for stuff like you went through. The mirrors aren't on, yet? It's 33 degrees. Time to ride again! I hope these new ones work out.
