Agreed. $100/ea for mirrors is a little steep.

CRG's are $100.  ;)

They're claiming some whizbang plasma coating.
All well and good, but it's still sitting on top of angel food cake (in comparison).

A 99 euro mirror includes 19% VAT.

They're not paying retail, and they're not paying VAT.

Granted there's shipping from Italy, but where do they get the $117 price.

No idea how they're doing the shell game on the VAT and shipping.

I get people who bring in the CRG clone/ripoff.
Then they're a bit bent 'cause I charge more for install.
Because the mirrors are shyte and I've got to fix them so they'll fit.
Then they're really bent when the glass falls out on their ride home.
CRGs I take out of the box and install straightaway.
And the glass doesn't fall out.

If you buy the genuine article from an actual store, you've got recourse if it goes haywire.

Dammit how'd I end up on this soapbox

Rizoma even more and they sell buckets worldwide  [thumbsup] /  [roll]

For me, turn signals and mirrors, are items where function trumps form (a little bit). I want larger size than my first three Rizoma, MUST be convex and at the end of the day these win because they offer two different stalk lengths - a big fat first time any (?) manufacturer thought about adjustable width.

I'll save it.

Here's a tool path I'm working on right now.

There. Back on track. That was a close one.
