Default Street Glide Mirrors?

It’s no secret that stock Street Glide Mirrors suck. What have y’all replaced yours with? I want all black and while looks plays a big part, safety is paramount. If I can’t see anything in a quick glance they’re useless. Pics a big plus.

Peace out ✌️

Harley short stem mirrors. If you are a large human bean like me you might try the Harley long stem mirrors. The controls on 10” bars block the view of stock mirrors.

(Different windshield)

I’m 6’3” 220. My shoulders blocked some of my view with the mirrors mounted up top so I put them on the bottom. Bugs don’t smack them now and splatter on me.

Same here. I didn't know they sucked! Last SG I had was a '14. Mirror location was never a issue

Has the OP ever owned a SG?

I changed to 12” KST mini apes (Mayhems) and ended up having to buy the mirror drops they sell. Although I have CVO mirrors on my bike, they’re shaped the same as the stock fairing mirrors but steel instead of plastic. I liked them before I changed bars but I’m not crazy about the positioning now, to be honest they don’t offer a very good perspective in the lowered position. So if you didn’t like the stock mirrors in the stock configuration, you’re gonna hate them if you end up getting the mirror movers. Just my opinion, of course…
