Do you have a pic of them on the bike? I like these mirrors too, but not sure how they'll look. They seem a "little" chopperish for a fat bob....no offense intended...

also would like to see pics... ive been lookin thru a catalog and noticed that a lot of the "custom" mirrors needed a special part to fit the right hand mirror because of " close tolerances around the master cylinder on 96 and later bikes with the rounded master cyclinder"... does this include the 09 fatbob?... looked at my bike, doesn't look all that tight a space, but the master cyclinder does have kinda rounded corners... anyone know?

I took the stock off and put a Arlen Ness on. I didnt put it ontop of the handles I put it under and what a difference. it will get rid of seeing part of your body if you mount it under and will give you a 100% field of view instead of 70% or 50%. Great idea and you all need to try it.......

Just try it for on ride. Mount it under instead of over. I promiss your field of view will improve drasticly. if you dont like it flip it back. Most of us love working on our HOGS so what will it hurt right? Look at my pictures its not to bad looking neither but more for viewability....

I want a set that I can see behind me. I see my shoulders just fine with the stockers. Wide load
