Mirrors
Well i just got my bike this past thrusday, however i need new mirrors for it. I cant see anything but my arms when i look into them and my old man had the same problem. I need mirrors that are a bit higher/little further out. My bikes a FXDX and here are some pics http://s251.photobucket.com/albums/g...xEnigmaxXx711/ .
Im not sure if im looking to go with chrome ones this time or keep the majority of the bike black. So any ideas yall have would be great.

RE: Mirrors
Nice looking ride. Check out the lower profile mirrors with the extended profile. I went to turn signal mirrors from Frantic Custom Cycles and didn't realize the difference in vision behind me until I put them on - see sig pic. These types of mirrors are available from lots of places without the turn signals and on eBay. Have seen them in black, but I like the chrome with the low rider.

RE: Mirrors
I have the same exact problem...can't see anything but my arms. I still haven't made up my mind what I want to do. I think I am going to get a set of the skull theme mirrors. Just now sure if they would be any better.

RE: Mirrors
Last year, I had new Bars installed just before heading down to the Myrtle Beach Fall Rally. They put the stock mirrors on the new bars and I had the same problem you describe. No matter how I adjusted the mirrors, all I could see in them were my shoulders. I visited the Kuryakyn tent at the rally and they hooked me up with a set of Elipse Mirrors. They also sell what are called Magnum and Super Magnum mirrors. All of them give you a little more up and out to get ride of the problem. Mine are perfect for me. I can see behind me on either side from 1 side of my lane to the other.

RE: Mirrors
Had a buddy that had the same problem. Went into the stealership and got a pair of these http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US they work awesome, and when I rode his bike, you can see a lot more behind you than stock mirrors. Hope it helps
