6' 295 here and I highly recommend the fairing mount mirrors for wide bodied riders like myself. People that claim they can't see anything out of their fairing mount mirrors must not realize they are adjustable and can be positioned to give even the biggest boys a clear view....and they look a helluva lot better than long stemmed mirrors IMO.

Thanks in advance

Recently purchased the HD mirror extensions for my ultra. Wow, what a difference they make.
Ditto that. I'm 6'2", 300 and mirrors were only good for checking my epaulets (I always liked that word). The aesthetics leave something to be desired but they work perfectly.

OMG.........................

This is amazing. I bought these today after reading this thread. What a difference.
I've been tucking in my arm, or turning my shoulder to see in the mirrors for so many years thsat I didn't know what good mirror vision was.
These are a must for big guys. I'm 6'2 and 240 lbs

Have the billet style mirrors, bigger field of view and the stem puts the mirror up and out some. Looks better than the extensions, which my wife had on her lowrider. They do get you a good view past your shoulders tho.

Sorry SeaHag... I assumed you had them on the RG in your Sig picture.

I agree they look sweet on the Batwings.
