Looking for a real high quality set of mirrors, the stock HD's vibrate beyond visibility, and their round ones aren't much better. Looking for a set that won't turn the cars behind into a mirage. I like the ole skewl round style, looking at the Biltwell's and the Joker Machines, seems as though all the rounds are relatively small. thoughts and opinions on what you have or had.
Thanks
When you upgrade to a M8 power plant motorcycle the new engines have dual balance shafts, You can always see out of thm.
but you will find on your older model your handle bar bushings dictate how much handle bar vibration is radiated to the furthest point of the handlebars s the mirror.
Awesome, thanks for the rapid responses, the bike is going in the beginning of April for a complete Progressive suspension upgrade, front & rear, chrome lower forks, I actually ordered the poly bushings for the risers and the necessary chrome hardware to complete the job from Surdyke. I'll wait it out and see how they look.
Thanks guys.
I've read but not tried the bar counter weight trick. I saw where a guy took thin lead sheets and rolled them up, then stuffed them into the ends of the bars.
Now sure HOW it works but it seemed to stop the vibrations.
If you're seeing a blur, try cleaning your mirrors. It will improve the esthetics too.
Dude, you seriously bumped your head. I'm looking for solid answers, not some senseless remarks. Not to be that guy but let me help you, it's aesthetics not "esthetics"
