    Hey all, making this to help anyone else interested in doing the same thing.

    Imo the best mirrors are the Magazi lucifers, available on ebay for $200 AUD, they are aluminium/plastic construction, multi-adjustable and the LEDs are nice and bright. They also have daytime running lights and the wire and mirror glass are much better quality than the chinese options. They are definitely worth the extra money and they also look a lot better than the GSXR mirrors :biggrin:

    As for the wiring I simply removed the stock turn signal connectors and wired in some generic bullet connectors, no DRLs for me sadly as the AUS model doesnt have the cable.

    Finally, to make the signals flash the correct speed I wired in a new relay. Ones with the Honda connector are available online but they are much more expensive than the standard generic option.

    I used a 3 pin LED flasher relay available at most auto stores (pictured below).

    [​IMG]

    The relay has 3 pins labelled B, L and E.

    - B is positive in and connects to the black wire (as pictured on the wiring diagram below in black/brown).

    - L is load and connects to the grey wire which in turn connects to the signals.

    - E is the negative/ground and connects to the green wire.

    Once the wires are all connected the indicators will flash at the correct speed and you can do away with the proprietary Honda relay!

    It doesn't matter if you have all LEDs or mix and match as the relay is non load sensitive.

    Hope this helps someone!

    I'd be curious as well but the original post is from 2017 and poster hasn't been on since June
