wild1575 and handlebar mirrors
Hi all i installed a pair of wild1 575 bars on my 2006 street glide. I am in the process of converting to handle bar mountmirrors. I borrowed some stock short stem mirrors from my buddie off his flht. I like them much better than the fairing mount mirrors that are rendered useless as everyone else on this forum has posted. I would like to see the different styles you all are using. post your pictures and your experience with the different styles of mirrors that are avaliable.

RE: wild1575 and handlebar mirrors
I currently placed a piece of black tape over the holes to keep the elements out but i plan to trade my sparewith my buddie after he gets his spare flht innerfairing painted. once he does the swap i will take his old one to the painter and change mine. i considered a number of things other than tape. i was going to go check out the plugs that have been suggested from lowes. i even thought about drilling out the two holes to a size big enough to only need one plug per side. I ruled that out because i will probable sell my painted fairing after i make my swap. I am not too sure about my fairing looking like swiss cheese with a bunch of plugs so i will take my touch up paint and paint the tape to match until i can make the change. sounds cheep but it is only temporary.

Lowe's makes some plugs that match almost perfectly. They are in the specialty hardware section. I secured mine from behind with some silicone adhesive. I'll probably replace the inner fairing someday, but for now, it works.

I went to lowes today and picked up the plugs. looks much better than i anticipated. I also used my touch up paint and painted them. I think i found a temporary permenant solution.
