I found a really nice set here in the link below... Are these mirrors compatible to my 1979 flh shovelhead? Are these factory original? Are these magnified? Is the price for them justifiable?

In the post by Old Mago, the eBay site he listed indicates the bike having 28,344 kilo's on the odometer, and in the written description it indicates the bike as having 28,594 miles.
the K to M conversion should be 28,344K = 17,612M.

I was going to buy those you referred to but based on the 3rd pic, it is not OEM to ealier model shovels. Not sure what year your bike is but.the mirrors you have on your bike appears correct Even my original Ironhead has the type of mirrors you have on your bike except short stem.

If you ever want to sell them the mirrors on your bike, PM me and I will buy them from you.

I too could not find any OEM mirrors for my 71 FLH so I just picked up the earliest new HD mirrors I could find at the dealership....which was 91845-03B and 91840-03B. These look like the ebay mirrors.
