Default Mirror ****

I search the forums looking for mirrors **** and couldn't find any threads just handbars, apes, pegs. Anyway we can start a mirror **** thread with plenty of pictures.

I had the Harley Davidson Tribal that no longer want to stay straight, they just vibrate loose and hang down. I added some glue to hold them straight for now. I just want some nice mirrors that are going to last longer than a year.

I was thinking of going with some black Drag Specialties Stealth II Mirror, or Performance Machine arrow, contour, or go back to stock.

Look into (pun intended) the Split Vision mirrors from HD.

I prefer the stock mirrors. Haven't found any mirrors that I like more yet.

Someone tried a mirror thread last year. Didn't last long though. I'm running the H-D Buckshot I picked up at a swap meet:

I have always been compelled to switch over to a classic round mirror. These are HD round flat mirrors with 6" stems that I installed after putting on the apes. I think they add to the classic style of the Deluxe.



I had the same type of mirror on my bobber too. In this picture, the mirror is installed right side up. I eventually relocated it to the underside of the bar so I could actually see out of it.

I got the same round mirrors. Clean and not too flashy.

Got some Arlen Ness mirrors on the Breakout...while they look good, they are pretty much non functional..LOL They would probably be much better on a set of bars with a rise vice my straight bar.....

Neither have I. Most OEM mirrors tend to be smaller.
I swapped out my stock H-D chrome mirrors for the exact same ones in black...

I had the stock mirrors on 2 of my 3 Harleys and they work just fine. The only one that I would switch them out to is probably another Harley style. Just can't get into the overstylized ones offered by some aftermarket suppliers.
