On the 03 1200C there is no tensions screws for this type of stock mirror.

In my experience, nothing works as well as the stock, slightly convex mirrors that come on the Sportster. The convex surface gives you a wide view and reduces the effect of vibration.

One thing is for sure. There is a steady supply of people who will pay a lot for fancy looking mirrors that don't work!
