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.

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.
