Default mirrors almost perfect

found thee kuryakyn mirrors on ebay, $73.00 free shipping. if only they had a high gloss black on the mirror head they would be perfect. i emailed kuryakyn and they said they had no plans, at least for now, to offer them in high gloss. figured my bike is black and the only dull black on it is my seat and tool bag it would be that great of a match, high gloss would be perfect. i like the way the chrome on the hand separates from the mirror head.

I put the all-chrome version on my bike a little while ago. I only spent $40 on Ebay for them, new. If you spend a little more time searching ebay, you can find them much cheaper...

Could you take those to a painter and have them painted gloss black?

It don't look like it would be very hard to mask off the fingers. After doing so you can just scuff the black with a maroon scotch bight pad then take a spray can of clear and go over the black. You'll have a nice rich gloss black after doing so. The most time consuming part would be the masking. It really shouldn't take more than 1 to 1.5 hours to complete.

I have seen them painted up, red bones and gloss back.
Not my thing but they look pretty neat if you like them.

I hate mirrors that stand up on the bars, I prefer under bar or bar end mirrors myself.

ill just leave them for a while, might get use to them being dull and like them. but true i can a ways paint them later. masking them off will take a while but not like masking off a whole car. good idea about using clear PanHeadRich, hadnt thought about that, but that would work. my gribs are dull and riser mounted tool bag is dull so ill see. sure are cool how the fingers are chrome.
