I have been looking through the gallery and most of the mirrors seem to be of the same design, are these marlin or from somewhere else??
I am ready to fit some and was wondering what people have bought?
I think I can disregard marlin ones as I would not get them in time for my sva in march! If they are marlin type does anyone know where they can be bought from
How quick do you need them Craig? I'm in the process of looking around at the moment for replacements.
Mine were only cheap from Marlin about £25. I got mine purley because the mirrors I had, I did not think they would pass the SVA due to them not folding back when hit from the front. Also the repeater would not have passed.
I know the SVA guys vary. But the SVA guy said that if the mirrors were hit, does not matter what mirrors you have, the body would probably give first and he would have passed them!
Another concern I have. The holes to mount them. I'm looking at Merc style mirrors and hoping they have the same hole pattern for fixing. I've decided against my mirrors I bought but the hole mountings are the same as Marlins.
The standard Marlin ones are motorbike ones, from what I recall of the packaging. Sadly I binned my packaging ages ago so can't tell you what bike they're from.
