Default Help with mirrors
I have a 03 1200c. Lets face it. It's going to vibrate.The stock mirrors that came with it don't vibrate but have trouble seeing behind and to the sides. I've tried the mirror extensions and also a differant brand of mirrors where the bracket itself is shaped differant but man do they vibrate. Anybody have any ideas on what would be a good mirror with minimal vibration?

A good mirror without vibration would be one that's not on a Harley!
