Default Mirrors

Good morning peeps!

Anyone mount the bar mirrors and the fairing mirrors at the same time?

I went with the fairing ones which I like a lot but feel a bit "guilty" seeing the brand new, shiny bar ones sitting in a drawer.
Thought I can set both up and use the fairing ones for "blind spot checks" and the bar ones for rear normal views.

What do you guys think?

TIA

Four different views behind me?

I think I'd get confused.[&:]

My EGUC came with fairing mounted mirrors but I couldn't see enough behind me. I mounted the original mirrors on the bars with 2" extensions, to bring them above the fairing mirrors. It works a treat.

I like the fairing mounted mirrors, but I don't get a good enough view behind me out of them. I'm stressing about pulling off, because again...I like'em, but they gotta go. I'm gonna put the bar mounted ones on and just live with it. At least I'll be able to see behind me...
