My new mirrors arrived today! I got them cheap on ebay item number 250209544727. I think they look really cool and I can't see many people in the UK having them. I used a couple of chocolate blocks to wire them in and a file and a knife to trim the ends down so they'd fit into the stronger stock mounts. I originally fitted them in the lower position and had brilliant visibility (I could see things directly behind me in both mirrors). I hope it's as good with them in the higher position. I've also noticed a bit more vibration than with the stock mirrors but they're still very usable.
There are a couple of threads started by other people that have info on these mirrors and the ex650 ones as replacements. They are here http://www.ex-500.com/index.php/topic,5467.0.html and here http://www.ex-500.com/index.php/topic,4950.0.html.

This picture shows how to plug in both the original indicators and the indicators in the mirrors into the single original connection (you need to shop off all the plug and sockets on them and strip back some of the wire insulation first):-
And here is a nice little pic showing how the terminal block is used (this will be done twice - once for the left and once for the right set):-
