I believe that Flowerfred used them in the past - I am considering getting the sport kt and will probabbly use them also.

Note they also do Foldable M5 Mirrors (not OEM) and other goodies.

Jay, let me know if your daughter needs an attorney. I know a really good one that will sue the vandalist that did this to her bike.

the bike was kinda my fault. let's just say i didn't leave it on the driveway myself huh!
as for my wheel ... well all 4 of my Alpinas are now damaged! And each one is a present from my wife.
I actually drive the car about once every 2 weeks.

If I were you, when I would come out of my car to see that my daughter's bike has done this to my car, out of my anger

the bike would not have survived at all. I would shoot the bike dead on spot
