Default Mirrors

Looking for some new black mirrors for my Train. Something small & sleek. Also need to be able to see through them though. Has anyone used these from demons cycle?

Never found a set of custom aftermarket mirrors that looked good that I could see out of. Custom mirrors don't give enough left-right up-down visibility and the stock mirrors are ugly. I spend almost as much time looking in my mirrors to see who is gonna try to run me off the road as I do looking ahead and to the side. So, I stick with the ugly stock mirrors. Anyone knows of anything that looks good that has a good visibility footprint, I'm all ears.

I have the same ones for my train...they look good but if you have drag bars you have to lean alittle to one side to look out them..they also tend to bounce a bit...( maybe just me at high speeds)...but I like them....

I bought a couple pairs of Arlen ness last year. One in chrome and one pair in black. Cuz you know, a mans gotta have options and I fear commitment. Well... They both SUCK!!!!!! Same problem happened with both pair. With in one long ride, they lose the rigidity and just fall loose. It kinda ruins a nice ride when you gotta keep pushing the mirrors up to see just one time. Stay away from the Ness!!!

i have the arlen ness mirrors just like the ones pictured above, i didnt care for them all that much being that i had to move around to see things but i also had em on drag bars, let me know if your interested in em.
i switched to harley's black tribal mirrors and i love em, dont look as good as the ness mirrors but look way better than stock and can see everything through them.

ill actually have an extra set of those real soon also when i get the bike back from the dealer, i was rear ended and the left one has some scrapes on it now, such a shame for only 2 weeks old, but nothing all that bad that a lil touch up paint cant fix...
