I saw them at the local Arlen Ness shop last Saturday when checking out wheels. However, like others have mentioned, not much for function.

I looked forever and the only ones I liked were similar to stock...thats when I realized that I was changing them just to change them so I said screw it. Almost all the vicla bikes run stock, maybe because they already look and work great. HD doesnt f everything up, they get it right sometines too...lol

This (mirrors) has been on my list of things to consider changing. I haven't found any yet that I'd consider. I was looking or thinking of something more teardrop shaped. What I think I'm going to look into is maybe a different stem for the OE.

Sux can't edit using the phone app, but thinking more about it, I'm thinking the stems probably can't be changed out. I'll have to look when I get home from my appt.

HD has a few tear drops that are nice. 91968-98 is one of them with a classic stem. 91971-98 is the retro version.


These are a little more billet looking
91657-02 & 91697-06A These are the knock offs: http://www.kandgcycles.com/Chrome-Bu...irror-Set.html

Then there is this art deco monster
91696-05A


Maybe just too many to choose from, I always like to see stuff on a bike first.

I've got the ness mini ovals on mine. So far I like them. They are small, but the glass is convex so visibility isn't too bad. I'd be running no mirrors if the law would let me, I don't do anything without looking over my shoulder anyway, but these were a good compromise.

Wow, I'm very surprised to see the negative responses on these. I put them on my bike 2+ years ago and I love them. BEFORE I put them on I didn't think they would be that great but I was pleasantly surprised. I found them to be much better than the stock ones I took off.

You guys have given me a complex now... I'm afraid the next time I get on my bike I'm going to start hating them! LOL

I think they were just giving their opinions based on my style of bike. Im kind of sticking to an old school deluxe look, and I agree that these may be a step in the other direction. Personally I love them, but I agree that they may not work well with my theme...

I could be wrong though LOL. sick sled by the way!!!
