Default fatbob mirrors.. like the view, but...
the stock mirrors provide a nice view but they are just so plain... just dont belong... looked at pics and all, still dont know whether to go with chrome or black, but mostly want suggestions on what not to buy... any problems with the tricked out mirrors available out there?

I went with the "split vision" HD mirrors on my Fat Bob (part number 92190-06) ... big improvement.

i have a chrome set of ness mini ovals coming off my bike.

you can see good pics in my photo album.

visibility is fine with them, even though they're small, and they look great.

PM me if you want them.

I swapped mine out for a set of Arlen Ness Rad III mirrors, I like the look much better, and the field of view in the mirrors is better than stock.

Did you check out Arlen Ness? They have quite a few options in black.
