It took me about 4 hours to figure how to take apart GL1500 mirrors apart to be able to install Arrows for turn signals on the back side of the glass. Its not as bad as I thought. Here is the picture of them on. Next set I will try something different with turn signals and on the left will be the volt gauge and on the right will be the outside air temp on the inside edges. Any and all feed back is welcome. These are going on Larry's Trike I'm fixing up. By the way total cost is about $10.00 to this job.

Did you drill holes in the mirror or just take the reflector off the back? This is just amazing!!
Thanks!

So now that you've done both ways which do you like best?
I'm thinking when I do mine I'll do them hidden behind the reflective coating so the mirrors look stock unless the turn signals are on.

Your package will be shipped out in the AM. I like the ones where the mirror surface has been completely removed because they then real show up during the day and at night.

this is a great mod. thanks for sharing the details.

did you glue the rubber "frame" around the mirror to secure mirror in housing? ( "frame" cut to remove mirror at start )

I have had my mirrors on my 1500 with these for about two years I love them.There is someone on Ebay in Arozona that charges 60.00 send him your mirrors and they are back within a week. Then when you reinstall them the wires he puts on connects to the front turn signals

It should be fine if you let it set up a few days before uprighting it.
