Default How long are Stock Night Train Mirrors?

I laid my bike down the other day on the freeway and I gotta replace just a few parts. One of em is the right side mirror on my night train. I was lookin at harleys website and it looks like there are two versions, the short stem and the long stem.
I think I wanna buy the short stem? anybody know for sure?

I have an '03. From the tip of the Acorn nut to the 45° bend it's 2 3/4 inches. From that bend to the bend going back to the mirror itself it's 5 inches.

They generally sell mirrors in pairs.....what year is the bike??? I may have the stock mirrors for a Nighttrain laying in the garage.....both right and left I believe. Had an '04 Train...bought after market mirrors back then.......not sure what year your bike is or if they have changed since then...let me know and I'll take a look...

I checked the site and you can buy only one... but I guess it dosn't really matter. Anyways, I have an 05' same mirrors as your 04'. If you are interested in gettin rid of one or both let me know. It looks like a new one goes for about 30 bucks or so, I've been surfin ebay lookin on there too....

Night trains have the long stem due to the drag bars. You may want to get aftermarket as long as you have to spend money anyway.

They need to be about a foot or so so you can see past your shoulders....

I have both long and short.The long ones came stock on my '02 but my buddy got an '03 with short ones and he gave them to me. I ended up buying after market anyway.Ness has black ones.
