Well, put on my mirror extenders and the right side frame slider I got for Christmas (both Skyking products). The mirror extenders are a simple bolt on and work for me. I was hoping they wouldn't vibrate now that they are longer, and they don't (at least up to 105mph). The right side frame slider was simple to install, the left will have to go on tomorrow (was doing this while at work...shhh). The left has some hoses in the way, and I ran out of time.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable New Years Eve, and a great New Year. Looks like a New Years Day ride in NY won't be too cold.

I put the mirror extenders on my Sprint this spring and I really appreciate the fact that they allow me to see what's behind me. However, I do wish they were finished a little better and could blend into the lines of the bike better. However, since I use my scoot as regular commuter, they have been greatly appreciated.

I agree, having the rubber boot hide most of it would be nice, but how could they do that? SkyKing would have to offer a longer boot. As for finishing, maybe color matched? Glossy or matte finish? Not sure what would look better. I too commute on mine often, and it was killing me not being able to see in a flash if the coast was clear.

I got the left frame slider on over the weekend. I had to take the side panel off, with all the hoses I felt like a gynecologist getting it installed. It forced me to do a little plastic repair, so it was worth it. I got the black plastic sliders, and they look good against the green.
