The stem of my left side mirror broke :mad:
Looking for a new replacement set of mirrors, but unsure if going aftermarket is the way to go. Has anyone had experience mirror sets from eBay, such as these?
eBay non-OEM mirrors

I have some cheap-ass aftermarket ones. They have worked fine for 4+ years...just my 2 cents.
I just bought a set of the EMGO replacement mirrors for my 1993. I got the idea from Rollin Again and his '93. I've only had them on for about 2 weeks but I feel as though I get better coverage than the stock.

They work fine. I've gone through 3 sets now due to dropping or crashing my 6th gen. The paint starts to oxidize after a few years, but you can't beat the price.
Well a quick update - ended up buying the cheap-o version and waiting for them to arrive. Looks wise, they are the same as OEM. I mounted it on, and that's when there was an issue - the hole that mounts the mirror arm to the base bracket would not hold up because the bracket space was too large. Everytime I went to adjust my mirrors, it would move enough to cause the main allen head screw to loosen, and the mirror would flop around.
Simple solution - use the OEM bracket and mount to the new arm - it was only the OEM mirror arm itself that broke. The OEM bracket was the normal size, and now the mirrors adjust and stay in place. Satisfied customer for the price!
I bought these for my 2007

Did you have to modify the stems to fit? Mainly wondering if the holes lined up.
The holes were actually slots ......they fit.
Just a quick update, but these cheapo mirrors are working just fine (as long as you mount the cheapo stem to the OEM bracket mount)
