Aaron, That is the best picture of those mirrors I have saw. I don't think they will help us anyway after seeing this picture and may even be worse than the stock mirrors as far as being able to see through them. I thought from the magazine picture I saw that they had an adjustment point right at the fairing mounting point also, but in this picture I see that they don't. Thanks for the picture! And keep me posted on what you find, or come up with on this issue.

Those would be dead-smack right in front of 13" ape handles.

love it! What mirrors are they and how much vibration you get?
