Default Mirrors
Well, I got my bike back last night from the stealer. As many of you know they raped me to take the apes off and put the pull back drags on. Never the less the bike looks HOT! One issue I have now is the tear drop mirros is very little and hard to position to see behind me with the bars so much lower and further forward. I want something that looks sleak and shiney but is also funtional. What are you guys running with and do you have any ideas?

I've seen some pictures of the mirrors that mount on the end of the grips.
They look pretty cool, but not the look I'm going for.

I have the Arlen Ness micro points. I have not found a set that are way functional without looking like elephant ears.....so I do a physical look / head turn whenever I switch lanes anyhow and went with the nicer looking mirrors.

You may want to consider the integrated signal mirrors from Heartland. They really clean up the front end are very slick. They are small but once you are used to them they are easy to use.

I just ordered Joker machine viewtech 7 mirrors, waiting for them to come in the mail. I currently have 'pro one weekend warrior' mirrors on my drag bars. They've worked really well for me.

If you like the black heartlands let me know I'll sell you some for cheap. Took them off my drag bars when I got apes.
