Default mirrors with attitude

Can anyone recommend some mirrors that'll give my bike more attitude? Its an 883C 2003 with fairly straight bars and stock mirrors that (I feel) let the bike down.

Green,

Tear drop style mirrors look very nice IMHO.

Cheers, Pilot.

I was thinking about the dome billet style with single slot - simple shapes.

Has anyone got any pictures of these on a sportster with flat bars?

very slick, Socal, but are they practical, especially on the drag bars (being so low down)? I tend to use the mirrors alot - more than I should. LA

Of course, there are the a[sm=smiley35.gif][sm=smiley35.gif]hole mirrors from J&P Cycles.

From their webiste: Note: Mirror reads "******** in mirror are bigger than they appear".

Just my .00 cents after taxes,

BRUCE

Green,
To me they are practical. I can see who is behind me and alittle on the side and like I said I always turn and look before i change lanes.
But the big plus is they look COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
