Sure they look cool, but do they work? Can you see anything out of them?

03-10-2011, 03:52 AMfelix - I have others asking the same thing. The answer is yes. They work just fine for me. I can behind me and sides absolutely just fine. I have read most taller riders have issues with the OEM Mirrors not being able to see past thier shoulders. Fortunately I'm Short. I'm 5'4" Short I mean tall.....LOL I had one other person tell me once I started riding the bike I would be moving them. What the hecks the difference wether I'm sitting on the bike or going down the road? As long as I can see out behind myself right? Anyways - yes they work well for me. In fact I can see much better with these type mirrors becuase of the fish eye type view that they give. Way better then the OEM Mirrors. I think it comes down to rider comfort, size of the rider. Hope this gives a reasonable explanation on the functionality of these mirrors for me.

Cool, glad to hear it. Just wondering, do they show you the reflection in between your arms and your body, or are you looking over your arms like with regular mirrors?

03-10-2011, 04:35 AMOnly see whats behind me, I do see my index finger knuckle on my hands but other then that, I only see whats behind me. This may vary depending on riders height and size though. Thats my guess. If one were to try thses on the bars and they didn't work for them, then mount them were they were meant to be mounted - at the end of the bars. Mounting them there would be no question becuase the the out most mounting point on any bike.

You sure moved your brake and clutch levers inboard with the mirrors and hand guards. Surprised you can reach them.
Still don't see how you can get a rear view.Vince

03-10-2011, 03:43 PMhAHAHAHA - I Know everyone is saying the same, but I can. Not sure how else to explain it? Hows that Bobber? Still waiting for the weather to give me a even semi decent day here in NW Pennsylvania. We are supposed to get 6+ inches of fresh new snow between now and saturday morning. I hate it. :( Bike has beeen virtually ready to fire up and go now for over a week. Seems as soon as the opportunity hits, it changes just as fast! Next week forecast looks ok, so i am hoping. Even if I have to take time away from the business I'm going riding damn it! LOL I guess thats a perk of being your own boss right? lol. After all I have a couple good employees who can keep thing rolling. Thats why I pay them! :) Have a great day.

I'm always surprised after adjusting the mirrors in the shop how far they are off when I go for a ride.
