Signal Mirror® housings are machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and are finished with high-quality triple chrome plating. Overall the design, 3" high x 6" wide x 5/8" deep, is sleeker and thinner than competitive mirrors that have lights in the mirror head.
The glass of the mirrors is the same quality found on the Muth original equipment manufacturer automotive applications. The glass is "flat" to provide a true view of things reflected from behind the cycle.
Signal® mirrors include both the high-intensity red flashing chevron in the mirror as well as an amber forward-face signal. The signals are activated when a biker uses the turn signal to alert surrounding drivers in the "blind spots" of their intentions. When hazard flashers are used signals flash in both mirrors. The mirrors function as regular mirrors whether the turn signals or hazard flashers are on or off.
Unlike the adjacent drivers who see a highly visible lighted display, the driver of the cycle equipped with Signal® mirrors sees a subtle tell-tale display. This reminds the biker the mirror is activated.
Signal® mirrors have been endorsed by law enforcement personnel who ride motorcycles as an important safety accessory that allows a biker to attract attention considering they are typically the smaller vehicle on the road. Comments continue to come in from other cyclists who like the cool look it gives their cruiser.
