Stock mirrors. All the time.

No mirrors = will never happen for me. I use them all the time.

Above the bars. Not stock, wanted something a bit different. Ha, I even made a Motovlog about it last year.

I got some Kuryakyn mirror extenders. Mirrors are very important to me, especially on the interstate, where I ride a lot.

had these mirrors on my deuce, some of the nicest mirrors, I've ever seen. One piece billet, with a moveable glass on the inside. crazy expensive, but I got compliments all the time.

You have to have at least one mirror, its law,I believe, at least in Cali. I wouldn't not have them, they save lives! And on that thought, those mirrors on the deuce are not much better than none, but the look so good!

Above the bar, and I use them all the time. However...

I have a Slim, and I traded in a Forty-Eight for it. I really, really miss the under the bar mirrors on the 48. I bought a set of Arlen Ness mini-ovals thinking that they'd work without a problem, but I was wrong. I'd have to relocate the front turn signals, which I wouldn't be able to do on my own.

And no, I don't want apes...

They aren't that big or noticable, but the move the mirrors out so I can actually see alongside/behind me instead of just seeing my arms.
