RE: What mirriors?
I put the Kuryakyn Elipses on mine. After I changed my bars, I could no longer see behind me using the stock mirrors.
Oops, forgot pix.

RE: What mirriors?
Ianltd, Can you post some more photos of your bike from different angles, I'm interested in what your WG looks like with the buckhorns. I have an 05 WG and want to change the bars to buckhorns. Also, do you like your WG with buckhorns, any pros and cons with them?
ORIGINAL: Ianltd
I have 'buckhorn' bars and late stock mirrors on the small Harley extensions.
They are getting a bit worse for wear now and need replacing!
I kinda fancy something maybe oval/cats eye shaped - not sure, but most places say 'not advisable with buckhorns'
Any experience and/or opinions with what to look at.................just kinda lost with this one!!
Any help would be appreciated.

RE: What mirriors?
Hi 05,
Here's some photos of my WG with the Buckhorns as you wanted!!
I don't know how many it will let me load but I'll have a go - or put them in two replies
The BH's are a lot narrower then the Apes - that I don't like, but the height is about the same - with the risers.
But comfort is amazing - as I'm only 5'7" it pulls the bars right back to me and once you're used to the lesser width, they are OK.
When I installed them I had stock FXSTC BH's and stock FXSTC 4" pullback risers.
H-D say they won't fit but they obviously do but it just brings the riser slightly nearer the speedo housing!
Anyhow take a look and if you need any more info., (part# etc.) let me Know.
HTH, Ian

Thanks HD, I have the same risers and bars as you!
Any chance of a closer shot? or am I just being greedy?!

RE: What mirriors?
Thanks Ian, Nice looking bike. What bars did you use? I am the same height as you, but I have the HD Sundowner seat. What do you think it would be like as far as position goes, without the riser?
