Has anyone tried these types of mirrors on their FJ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-LED-TURN-SIGNALS-INTERGRATED-REAR-VIEW-MIRRORS-FOR-HONDA-CBR600RR-CBR1000RR-/161664136092?fits=Model%3ACBR600RR&hash=item25a3eef39c&vxp=mtr

I did a bit of a search thru the forum and see where the OE CBR mirror is recommended for improved visibility, but I'm also looking for a mirror with built in LED turn signals. I saw one post where keand3 used an LED mirror and didn't care for it, but I didn't see where they type of mirror he bought was specified.

Paul,
I looked at those mirrors a couple of months ago. I didn't think they would work well on an FJ due to the FJ mirror mounts facing forward. Those mirrors appear to only pivot up and down. I think they will stick forwards like the antennae on a grasshopper. There might be a way to pivot them to the side, but Im not seeing it. I previously had the CBR mirrors on my bike, but those stems had enough bend in them at the base to get them far enough to the side to be workable. I wound up putting mirrors on the clutch and brake master cylinders, due to not having a fairing on my bike at this time. The mirrors have LED turn signals on the front but not on the glass.
