Have them for a while now, great for congested traffic in Miami, I would say necessary for survival on the highways. They dont give you the view of a glue on convex mirror but the sight picture is larger and more defined.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate all your guys insight. It seems that so far more of you like them than not. Now it's decision time. Thanks again

These are one of the few goodies I am having put on while my scoot is in the shop. I am also having the wide glide bars put on, so I think this will change my rear view alot. I can report back as soon as I get a chance to go for a spin next week when I get her back.

I love mine. I have them on a 2005 Road King Standard with Road King Police Bars. I can imagine that if you have the lower bars / beach bars, that you may not have the same results.

I agree with the rear view being great. But I bought them for a better view to my sides. I'm still disappointed with the side view. IMO, if the little mirror was more convex, the split mirror would be great all the way around. I can see what TexasRedneck means about seeing behind with the rack bag on. No doubt about it, they really improve the rear view. Maybe that is what they are meant for and I misunderstoood.
