Thanks but beware, the very same individual I'm referring to is reading this very thread.


I've also never said someone else's bike looks like S&%T but this guy has no problem!


Thanks again Nickd

I have no issue using my mirrors, it just took a couple hundred miles and I got used to them.

I had mine flipped for a very short time. It was awful! I couldn’t see a damn thing. I would never even think of doing it again

Totally agree that it depends on the bars/riding posture. On my iron 883 with 6" zed bars, I flipped the morrors. On my street bob with 10" risers and 3" moto bars, it was more comfortable to have them in the standard position

Every bike and rider are different. Sometimes it works, other times not.

Dude.... Love them white walls... Very sharp!

OP, I'm sorry I just realized I completely hijacked the thread. Sorry about that.

NP.. this is how I learn new things. Since I have a carb bike I gotta learn all the tricks of the game...

Dyno is on my list after Christmas.

The best thing about flipping the mirrors is you see nothing but open road ahead. How you dudes run with all that junk blocking your view is beyond me. You may as well just drive a car and take take the doors off. Freedom and the open road with the wind on your face. Nothing like it. BTW.. just adjust the damn things and you can see fine.
