Default LED mirror covers 01-05 GS series >>Doesn't fit<<

I'm sorry to say, but the LED mirror covers that I was selling for the 01-05 GS's selling will not fit. I have contacted the members who have purchased them and will be issuing a store credit or full refunds.

I'm truly sorry about this, I was mislead to believe that they would work on our 01-05 GS's. What I should have had done was test everything prior to putting it out for sale, again I'm sorry about this.

Nigel was correct in saying that the LED mirror covers for the 01-05 GS series is not 100% compatible. The underside falls short and doesn't close properly.

I will be modifying one for my self, till one comes out that is a 100% correct. Again I'm sorry that this didn't work out of us 2nd Gen 01-05 GS owners.

Oh well, looks like I'll have to wait as I'm stuck with the rest of the 01-05 GS owners. Maybe you can get the vendor to make an 01-05 set.

So there are no fitment issues for the 98-00 GS'. I always thought they were the same mirrors. Has anyone varified the fitment on these?

They are not the same. 01-05 has a slightly different shaped mirror.

OK Thanks! But can you answer my other question. Are there fitment problems with the 98-00 mirror covers?
