MoCO has for very little money, stock replacements with longer arms.

I happen to like my stock mirrors, just cant see past my arms, like you.

I think they were about $60 for the pair and they go out to the sides farther.

I have Wild 1 WO500 with a 6 inch rise and 10.5 pullback on a 99 Standard. I just installed Kuryakan mirrors, part number 1438. They are the smaller ones that measure 5"x2.75". I can see past my arms very well and they only cost me $65.00 from ebay (easternperformance). Check them out!

Those are pretty nice. Do they vibrate much? I am worried about getting longer stems because I dont want to end up being able to see, but only seeing a blur.

I have the WO500 on my 05 Deuce, as well as brand new HD Profile Custom mirrors with the slotted stems. They vibrate hard at hiway speeds. Total blur as a matter of fact. Torque values on everything from the triples on up are in spec. Does anyone have a secret fix for this?
