Default Cool, practical? mirrors! HUH?
I would like to get some black billet mirrors for my bike and want something very cool. The problem is I want something big enough that I can actually who is behind me, like a state trooper maybe.

Any suggestions?

Check out these from Licks. http://www.lickscycles.com/catalog/p...oducts_id=1764 A friend just got these and they are nice. 3" round. Not quite as big as stock, but still very cool in my book.

I can't speak to the quality of those mirrors, but I can speak to the customer service of Lick's Cycles. I e-mailed them on a Saturday to see if they had a helmet in stock, and got a response that afternoon from A.J. I ordered it that night, and they shipped it out 1st thing Monday morning.

Cool and practical are two very subjective terms.

Check out a catalog and follow your heart's desire.
