They look okay and anything that helps to get your planned manoeuvre by car drivers noticed can only be a good thing.

The thing that may need consideration is if they affect the air flow because there has been a lot of discussion on this forum about the wind noise caused by mirrors?

The wind nose relates to the standard mirrors. Anything other than the ones fitted to a transit van would be an improvement! lol

Yes, fitted those type on my bike. They give a wider but not as tall view behind which I prefer.
I haven't wired in the indicators yet as I wasn't sure if I liked them at first. I like them, but still haven't got round to doing the wiring!

Could you post a photo of these on the bike ?

It looks like they stick out slightly further than the handle bars?

I like the look/idea but I already struggle during M25 filtering sometimes. Maybe it wouldn't make much difference?

They stick out by about 2.25".  They do twist quite easily, so if you do catch a mirror they just move back!

The LR is my toy - a 1957 Series One.  Just taken the canvas off and waiting for a few rubber seals before I can put the full hard top on it.

What I'd like would be mirrors with built in white LEDs that act as DRLs. That would give plenty of 'presence'.
