Default New Bars and SG Fairing Mirrors

I don't mind the stock bars. I just want fatter ones to run the wiring inside. People with Wild Ones 575 bars have said they get a good luck at their knuckes in the mirrors. Is this a universal problem with those bars? What fat bars work best with SG mirrors?

Actually you get a pretty good look at you knuckles with the stock bars too. It takes a couple rides to get used to the fairing mounted mirrors but I 'm glad I put them on.

The fairing mount mirrors look a lot better than the stock handle bar mounted mirrors. I do see my knuckles a bit more with them though.

If it bothers you, get some gloves with really cool pics on them! LOL

I had the WO575 bars put on my SG, and in the most natural hand position, my hands/knuckles wipe out the bottom 1/3 of the mirror. The mirrors are still usable, but I'm considering adding the new Kuryakyn Fairing Mount Turn Signal mirrors, which mount into the holes where the HD fairing mount mirrors attach. Love the WO575's!

I never liked fairing mount mirrors, put a set on years ago when hd first came out with them.
