I finally got read of my big bug antenna stock mirrors!!! And put some low profile carbon fiber mirrors on today. Looks sooooo much better.:rockon::rockon::rockon:
 
How is the field of vision with these? They look like they might aim right at your shoulders.

BTW, they do match the lines of the bike very nicely..

I have seen people point these out further and use the convex mirror inserts. Not sure how well it works.
 
those are beautiful!!! i'm glad you posted some like that...that saves me sooo much time and money from having to mold my own...i was going to make some that looked almost just like that!
 
I have never really looked at how the stock mirrors are attached to the bike. Do you have to drill any holes in the bike to attach these or do they mount similar to how the stock mirrors are attached? Thanks for posting about these they look really good on the bike.

nope just bolt them in just like the stock ones:thumbup: its easy too like 10min
 
those look good, but i am skeptical that you can see everything? it is strange because i can barely see around my arms with the bug antennae

I would tend to agree and wonder if I could see past my elbows.

On the stockers I aim the mirrors to be less than 'optimal' to compensate for elbows. I shift the right hand one to give me mostly rear view and the left one to view the left lane. It leaves a bigger blind spot on my right side than 'optimal' but at 'optimal' position I have to move my arms constantly to see anything. Its a trade off but I feel that being able to glance and see most of my surroundings is better than having to move my arms to check anything. I just make sure I headcheck longer when going right.
