Ok guys, so here’s the deal...help me out please. I bought my P500 in September of 2018, and since the purchase, I have slowly but surely been buying my accessories to make it mine & one of a kind. A couple of weeks ago, I bought some side mirrors on Amazon that were advertised as “Honda” mirrors. I paid $110 for these mirrors, which was 2-3 times more than the average price of other mirrors on there, but I wanted genuine Honda mirrors, so I splurged. Well, I received my mirrors yesterday, and let me tell you, I’m kinda suspicious, and not really sure if I got ripped off or not. Let me explain...Yes, these mirrors came in a Honda box, and yes, they look like the mirrors on the box, BUT, upon close inspection, they don’t say HONDA anywhere on them, nor is the HONDA part number on them. What is on the mirrors themselves though is the name ALLEGIS CORPORATION, and their part number. So here’s my question...does anybody out there know if Allegis makes Honda’s mirrors? If they do, that’s fine. But if I’m getting ripped off by this Amazon vendor, I’m returning these things ASAP, I’m posting a negative review, and then going to my Honda dealer to get me some of what I want. I posted some pictures to help describe what I’m talking about. Thanks in advance all!

I've never seen a Genuine honda part with another companies name on it.

Side Mirror Kit (door mount) 2P/4P

HOWEVER,

here is an ebay listing of the same thing and from a "honda dealer". The mirrors in the ebay listing appear to be the same as yours.

HONDA SIDE MIRRORS PIONEER 500 700 M2 M4 0SV05-HL5-100 766856318101 | eBay

Thanks Cuoutdoors...it still might be a little early, so I don’t want to jump to conclusions just yet, but I think I’m getting ripped off here. I’m really irritated by the steps this vendor is taking to try and hide the fact that he’s selling fake stuff. I’m mean really, to put an inferior product in a name brand box? Do people fall for this stuff?

Probably doesn't help they look El- cheapo.
But those are genuine Honda.
I think for that much you could do better in after market. You buy a pair of seizmik Strike and you won't feel that way. And garenteed for life.
