No. You only need one mirror in many States, I live in one of them. Because of that, most cops don't worry about it, as it discourages travelers from other States.

Michigan requires 2 mirrors. I like the looks of just one under the bars of my 48. Just wondered if anyone in a 2 mirror state was ever hastled for it

I LOVE having 2 LARGE mirrors. If my state had a No Mirror Law, I'd have 2 anyway.


Split Vision Mirrors



See even more of the world that you just passed. This exclusive-design Split Vision Mirror minimizes blind spots and provides a wide panoramic rear view of the left and right lane, and the road behind you. The mirror features a large primary panel for normal view, and a second outboard convex panel for a wider field of vision. Chrome-plated to a brilliant shine, the mirror's shape adds a contemporary touch to the traditional teardrop design. The deep embossed "Harley-DavidsonŽ" script and the curving slotted stem set this mirror apart from the others. Sold in pairs.

92190-06


Fits '82-later models (except VRSCF, and XL1200X mounted below the handlebars).

MSRP US $119.95

I wonder how cars that only have 1 mirror originally are done? My old Tercel from High School only had one from the factory.

No, it didn't, it had two. There was one on the driver's door, and one on the windshield.

The way most mirror laws (for cars, not motorcycles) read is that two mirrors are required, one of which shall (that's legalese for must) be on the driver's door.
