Review on ๐Ÿ” KiWAV Motorcycle Mirrors Aluminum Retro Black - Compatible with BMW M10 x 1.5 Adapters by Shane Black

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was impressed by the color: Parts

Delivery from Taiwan from order to door took less than 48 hours! Wow. You win for the packaging. I thought I was unwrapping a box of mooncakes, no motorcycle mirrors. Serious Things 1. Almost everything you need is included. The only parts you need to provide are a wrench and allen wrench. Dimensions are given. Many adapters for many possible types of mounting.2. The mirror needs to be rotated 180 degrees as the mount is off center which improves visibility. The attachment is extremely rigid. The wind will not touch them.3. Threads are pre-blocked. But the photo shows that women's threads were severely sheared. It was dry whereas most pre-applied formulas tend to be a bit sticky. I dropped it and still use mine. Soak in acetone.4. Compared to rhizome. Rizoma is generally better. I like tinted glass. Finishing is more prestigious. I prefer the Rizoma mount. A set may cost more than double, but I wouldn't say they're twice as good. Overall size is similar and visibility is similar. You look great.5. The quality is very good. The overall fit and finish is top notch. You are a good weight. All metal, no plastic. Very form-fitting engagement of all components, no play.6. The instructions when you need them are very clear. There is a QR code for the video. They offer more ways to contact them and make sure they get attachments with questions than I've ever seen. Contact information is listed on each package.7. The packaging is not only very elegant, but also very good. Everything is individually wrapped and then wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap. I think they will survive the plane crash. They included a nice pre-printed note, a company statement and a sticker. Everything has a very positive message.8. The bottom of the thread ends in a 10mm protrusion, even with a 1.5-2mm reservoir mount. This results in a large number of threads. Then, just 1/4 turn, the lock nut locks it in place. Your choice for 10mm thread lock. A good bump will release perch in this style, which is why I like the Rizoma mount better. The attachment to them is industry standard so it's no worse, it just never had much success in the 60's design industry. Note. Revain is inundated with thousands of Chinese companies producing copycat junk and rigging the service. It pushes me away from Revane. Although Taiwan is technically "China," it's not one of those Shenzhen companies with unpronounceable, capitalized names that fake products and pay for reviews. They were taking up space on my sticker fridge, but the sticker is black on clear so I had to stick it on.
