hmm........I guess I will get a set of those, I hate that LH vibration thing, reminds me of a Freightshaker I use to drive. LOL Price is actually not too bad when you consider that a pair of stockers are $79 so only about $10 more per mirror and any brand OEM mirror is usually not cheap. I think the OEM black mirrors on an old Yamaha I'm restoring were almost $50 each and that was several years ago.

They actually raised the price on some of the mirrors recently, including the stock ones, I think they were fifty bucks a few months ago.
Here are the ones I have:

I was going to get the "Classic" teardrop ones, but no local dealer had them in stock and at that time I was tired of waiting for parts to come in!
What made me spend the money was the left stock one wouldn't stay adjusted after my first long trip this summer and I wasn't impressed enough with the mirror to just get a replacement. I rationalized that mirrors are important (true), you look at them a lot and probably should look at them even more than we should. Might as well look at stable ones that stay in adjustment, AND also look really good (I really DO like the looks of these mirrors.) Looks sharp when you're off the bike looking at them too.

Ah I see, good that the stock ones can still be replaced one by one for those who damage one, etc.
The script ones are only sold in pairs.
Why the hell are those "Aluminator" ones so expensive!?
