2 for me...too many idiots on BOTH sides of my rear end!

Besides...my Fat Boy would look out of balance with just one mirror!

20 something years ago i was visiting a buddy in Fla and i took out his bike with no mirrors and im on A1A and someone whacks me at a light...never saw it coming, luckily it was low speed and i walked away and the bike had minimal damage, so 2 mirrors for me so i can see whats chasing or coming at me from behind.

I like the balance look of two. I also like the mirror position on the miniapes. they are just above my shouldes and I can get a good view of every thing behind me. On my other bikes my body and arms cover half the image.
