Does anyone have a picture of the Kuryakyn PN 1456 Blind Spot Turn Signal Mirrors mounted on the inner fairing?
I installed the HD Split Vision Fairing Mounted Mirrors this spring. I am not really pleased with them. I cannot get the left one to stay in the same position as the right side mirror.

I took the HD blind spot mirrors off after using them for a few weeks and went back the the original fairing mirrors on my FLHX. Just didn't like them. I think I would try these Kury mirrors if they'd make them in black. They look good and appear to be in a more usable position.

I was thinking the same thing for my 09 SG when I have an extra buck and a half.
Wonder if they wood work better for new ape type of handlebars.
What kind of handlebars do you have on French?

Edit: Here are 2 pics from the front. You don't see much of the mirrors.

Thank you for the "full frontal" view!
On Kury's web site, the photo angle makes it look like they stick out further. I really would like to see them in person, but your pictures are excellent....thanks again. (Nice shine on that paint too!!)
Go to link below and call "Patty" for the best price I have found on these mirrors ($160.00) http://www.davidson-express.com/

For great price on these mirrors, check M & M Leather in Greensburg PA. They give you 20% off on all Kury accessories. I paid much less than 160 bucks for mine and I paid 6% sales tax cause I'm in PA also.

I have to agree with Quadancer about looking back. Every time I see someone turning their head to look behind them while going forward at 70mph, I cringe at the thought of the vehicle in front of them hitting the brakes. People that turn their head to back a car out of a parking place seem to me to be inexperienced or improperly trained drivers. USE YOUR MIRRORS.
I put a small round spot mirror from Wal-Mart on my left mirror but find that I get a better panoramic view from the chrome on my passing lights.
