Default Mirrors for Street Glide 2018

Just purchased a set of Factory 47 12" Chrome Assault bars for my 2018 Street Glide. Can't wait to install them. I understand with the 12" bars, I will probably need to install new mirrors (on the controls) or add extensions to existing batwing mirrors. Is either option good or one better than the other? If installing new mirrors and removing batwing mirrors, anyone have any suggestions on a set of mirrors that will look awesome on the Assault bars? Thanks ...

Nice, do they shake & distort view when riding? What did you use to cover the location where the stock batwing mirrors are mounted?

Nice, do the mirror vibrate a lot when riding so that it distorts the view? What did you do to cover the location where the batwing stock mirror were? Thanks...

Hardly any vibration at all since the mirrors are no longer on the handlebars, they're clear at idle.
