Fairing mounted mirrors
I am thinking of installing the fairing mounted mirrors on my Ultra. Withthe stock mirrors I have a good view of my left arm, I them adjusted out as far as I can. Pros and Cons on the fairing mirrors? Thanks guys.

RE: Fairing mounted mirrors
There was just a thread about this very subject a day or two ago.
Love mine! As New2Harley said, it's not as good directly behind you, but then the stock ones weren't either! I have an excellent view on either side of the bike (I always do a quick glance behind me anyways, but they're always accurate!)

When I bought mine at the dealer, the parts guy told me to mount them between 1/2" and 1" farther out than the template showed. I did and I love the mirrors, I have great vision rearwards and would never go back to the stock mirrors.

One other option you may wish to consider is the "long arm" HD mirrors. You will move the mirror head outboard about 2 inches and improve your rear view. I have the fairing mounted mirrors on my Ultra primarily to clean up the bars otherwise I'd have the long arm mirrors.

I have them and like them. Wife has them on her SG and she likes them better that the factory mirrors she had on the Heritage.

RE: Fairing mounted mirrors
I put them on also. Not a cure all, they clean-up the look of the bars, give a great side view, but don't give the best view of what's directly behind you. Awareness is the key.
