Default replacing SG mirrors

Putting 12" apes on 2013 SG. Gonna have to go with handlebar mounted mirrors. Anybody find a good quality low profile mirror they like? Also, anybody got a source for the rubber plugs for the factory mirror holes?
thanks,
Rat

U can get the plugs at the dealership not to expensive. I went with the HD tribal mirrors. There short stemmed and the mirrors are long so it keeps a low profile

Instead of plugging hole, used it to mount my dashcam on one side, GoPro on the other.

Yaffe has a triangled shaped piece that will fit in there and gives the area a bit of style and looks better than the plastic plugs

I have Kury Magnum mirrors on my chopper (solid mount motor) and I can actually see what's behind me! They have a sturdy mounting bracket that looks good too.

The pricier ellipse style may look better on a SG and they have the same brackets...

Forgot to mention....mine are the Magnum also. Got them with convex mirrors also. Finally nice to actually see what is behind me!

Might not be the "coolest" mirror, but work great.

+1 on the Harley tribal mirrors. I put them on my 13 SG` after I put my 12" bars on. Also went with painted inner faring. No holes to plug. Looks much better.

I mounted the oem style HD mirror that is found on all the non-bagger bikes. For plugs I went to Ace Hardware and bought little plastic plugs. They matched the fairing perfectly.
