Something to keep in mind...it would be nice to see a little more of the road behind me and a little less of my shoulders and elbows!

Stock mirrors in the stock position they were when it left the factory. But I've added adjustable bubble mirrors to them so I can see beside me. No blind spots.

i just put frisco bars on my sporty and undecided whether to put them above or below.
some guys up here ride without, but i like to see what's coming up behind me since i don't ride much over the speed limit.
everyone drives their cages 30kms over on average and will pass on solid lines.

My mirror is above the bar where I feel that it's supposed to be but to each their own.

Slim = Above (I took off the skeleton grip mirrors and replaced them with some nice looking Ebay ones)

48 = Below and stock... On Slim bars.

I also would never ride without mirrors. And, I also want to find some good bubble mirrors to fit on both bikes.

Old square stock mirrors in there original placement. I have very sensitive eyes and I travel in the dark quite often, so I use my arms to block out those bright stinking headlights from the cagers behind me.
