Yeah, she leaks water everywhere after I wash her. Can't figure out where it's coming from, so I just top her up once a month :P!

A mirror is a mirror - there might be some difference in quality but....

I have only seen the Napoleons in person - had them on a bike I bought - seem to be good qialuty to me - made of metal, not plastic.

I saw some bicycle convex bar end mirrors in k-mart, $ 4 u.s., modified those to fit my gs 500, as an experiment because i want to get rid of the stock antler mirrors. They really help for near blind spots left and right, but not so much for watching for cops further back.

Will probably end up with a pair of napolean bar end mirrors.
