looks good.
i like the red nightsters a lot!

2 things to suggest:
flip the mirrors (i saw you already shot that down).

black out the upper forks with the leather fork covers from the guy on the ebay. if you make an offer of 27.50 for the covers he will take it... ask me how i know.

Maybe I will give the inverted mirrors a try and see how I like them. Always easy to switch them back. I'll give it shot and see how I like the looks and function before looking for a bar end mirror. Thanks for the input!

Forgot to mention......
The more stuff you move down off the bars the more you feel like a hood ornament (a good thing)!
It's amazing how big a difference a small change like moving mirrors or speedo Down alters the feel of the ride.

Completely agree...I've blacked out the horn cover, ac cover, and turn signals on my Dyna and these would be the first pieces of chrome I've added. LOL

Hate the flipped mirror look myself. But something to consider if you do 2-up riding a lot is that if you flip the mirrors, all you'll see is your passengers knees. With the mirrors on the top, all you have to do is tuck your elbows and, whala, you can see. Just like Sportbike guys have to do. Plus, you could just get longer stemmed mirrors and you'll be fine.

Hey guys thanks for all the great food for thought! I never even considered longer stemmed mirrors, so that's definitely on the list of options for down the road if I don't like them flipped or kept how they are now. Really just kind of waiting for the damn weather to cooperate now. C'mon springtime!
