repop goose neck mirror questions
1. Are they hollow or solid cast.
2. I have looked and can't find anyone that makes a replacement round mirror with led turn signal. Anyone know of an aftermarket source?? Thanks

Re: repop goose neck mirror questions
I just cut down a stock arm and re welded it was solid all the way so there is no real way to get power to the LED's

Re: repop goose neck mirror questions
There seems to be two styles, one with the base cast to the arm like Rude modified, and with the arm and base as separate pieces (Brothers). Like Rude I will see now it fits on truck and maybe see if I fab up a tube arm to replace the solid piece. External fit so lots of time to think on it!

Re: repop goose neck mirror questions
You may want to check out the aftermarket motor cycle mirrors. I have some rectangle style mirrors w/LED progressive arrows. I know they make them in several lengths, and one could adapt and maybe use a line bender to fashion the curves you want.

Re: repop goose neck mirror questions
I have actually looked at the local independent MC shops and most of the necks are too short, but at the time was not looking for led mirrors, will need to double back. thanks for the reminder.
