Default Night Train Mirrors
I'm thinking of changing mirrors on my Night Train, can't see much past my jacket, any suggestions?

Wider bars helps. I could see allot better after I switched to my wider t-bars. Not sure if any mirrors can help that situation.

I can see enough outta my mirrors to tell if there is something behind me. I usually turn my head to look to see what it is before I switch lanes.

Get longer stemmed mirrors, it will make a difference: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

Not being able to see whats behind me is my concern.
Thanks to all, may try the long stems first, but I do like those wider bars Turtle, all of you have very nice bikes...I'll "get there" one day.

Wider bars. You can go with 30" tbars with a few more inches of pullback without changing brake line or cables. I went through the same thing and wasted money on different mirrors that looked goofy. Now I have the stock mirrors on wider bars.

Yeah, I didn't change the cables for the T-Bars I installed, I did run the wires through the bars though and that was no fun. But I really do need to change to longer cables, they are right on the border line. I figure it's a good time to go with SS Braided.
