Default Blind Spot Mirrors

Its has been a bitch, with the stock mirrors seeing what is directly behind me. One of the wrench's at the local custom shop, said forget about the fairing mirrors (save $'s) when you can install "blind spot mirrors" in the wasted temperature gaugeand oil pressure slots. He showed me his set-up on his 07 UC and then let me sit on his bike to check out the mirrors.

Dang, no more moving my elbows or twisting my 'bod' to see what is directly behind me. Purchased them at Pep Boys and now good to go!

I use small 1" convex dots on each of my mirrors to see my blind spots - they're especially useful on interstates. Found mine at WalMart.

I found a set of adjustable Convex mirrors at my local Advance Auto Parts Store. These adjustable ones give me the ability to move the mirrors so I get maximum use for my need.

Ride safe...

Here you go. All you needed to do was to do a GOOGLE search for "Split Vision Mirrors".
