Mirror Options
I have some skull and flame mirrors (no idea what brand) that came with my bike and they are worthless. I can't adjust them to see behind me without ducking or bending to the side. I want chrome and my bike has a lot of willie g skulls, so I was thinking of getting these https://www.shoputahharley.com/produ...rrors-91315-04
What are your recommendations for chrome mirrors? If you have the willie g teardrop mirrors, can you post a pic and a quick review?

I had those without the skulls on my Heritage. Same mirror, different trim. The rear view was a bit small for my taste and I sold em after a month. The sweet spot is about half of a std mirror...

What about just adding extensions to the mirrors, which give you more adjustment and control on where they sit? I found some on eBay for about $10, I think, and they helped me a lot. Here's a link to some just like the ones I got: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Mirro...item2393977a5f
Because the mirror simply bolts to this, and this bolts to the switch covers, you have lots of adjustment available.

I have the biltwell 4 inch round mirrors on my 18 heritage and they have a lot of room for adjustment. And no problem seeing behind. Paid $115 from biltwell thru Amazon.
and if not happy they have a nice return policy.

JFYI. There are a lot of different mirror styles available, but I wanted a set that gave me a lot of rear visability. The fancy shaped mirrors did not do that for me. I put a set of Kuryakyn Heavy Industry Chrome Mirrors from J&P cycles that are oval in shape and provide a large view area. I can see behind me as well adjorning lanes. The stems are more horizontal than vertical so they reach out more than others plus I have extenders that move them out even more. Good quality substantial mirrors.

I have the black color of these on my fat bob. But they offer it in chrome too. Honestly I can see behind me just fine. With my stock ones I could only see my elbows. The quality on these is great. And match perfect with the Harley edge cut series.
