2nd thought... a couple of things missing... before/after pics and some armor-all on your rubbers

Mimo.
Well, I just got done plowing about 2 feet of snow out of my driveway and my 2 neighbors', so I'm a little too tired to drag out the Armor All . But here is a before pic:


Damn! Good job... very.

Regards.

Here are the mirrors:
http://www.powersportrider.com/cgi-bin/zcatjpg (part number: 48-9886)

The mirrors are quite small, and I have not been out on the roads with them yet. So I can't report on what I can/can't see, or how well they stay in adjustment. But the nice thing about them is they stick out a little past the ends of the handlebars. So I am not in the way of my own view. That said, they are adjusted as well as can be with out the road trial, so I hope they don't need to be re-adjusted to a point where I will only be able to see my armpits. I did take this all into consideration before purchasing them, but it came down to the fact that I don't really rely on my mirrors too much anyway. I like to turn my head and look before changing lanes and such. But I will admit, it is nice to have the extra view into the periphery.

Dave...in the very SNOWY Minnesota!

I live about 3 miles from SPHD, in Woodbury. I usually stop in there on Saturday mornings and hang out with my old man and his buddies. During my project, I could be seen there 7 days a week!
