Fairing Mounted Mirrors
RE: Fairing Mounted Mirrors
Alot of people don't like them. My personal experience is I had a better view with the fairing mounts on my SG than I do with bar mounts on my RG. No matter how I adjust them I find myself having to tuck my arm in to see behind me. With the SG my arms and shoulders never obstructed my view.

They work great.
That being said, if you change your handlebars to say Wild1 Chubby's they may be blocked by your hands or arms.
Im looking for another set of bars to work on my SG and am worried about the Fairing mirrors being blocked.
Then I would wish my inner fairing didnt have those holes. Which yours probably doesnt now.
Just some food for thought.

I just changed them on my EG. It really cleans up the handlebars. I think the vibration is about the same, only that rather than vibrating at idle, they seem to vibrate at very low speeds, say when down shifting when coming to a stop. Otherwise, I'd say they work and look great.

I have the chubby bars on a custom bagger I'm building and cant' use the fairing mounted mirrors. I got the Kuryakyn mirrors that attach as part of the chrome trim along the top of the fairing. They are a bit small, but they look great and I don't have any problems seeing out of them. Fitment is excellent.

Got the fairing mounted ones on my Electra glide, and love them. Much better then the bar mounted ones.
