I put the fairing mount mirrors on my '07 Ultra and absolutely loved 'em! When I pick up my '09 Ultra (ordering this week, pick up in late March), it will have fairing mount mirrors again. Another item that I am putting on my new bike is the Kuryakyn "Lighted Mirror Caps" to add more visibility to the bike. 
The range of vision is just as good as what you would have with handlebar mounted mirrors (in my opinion). The mirrors on my bike didn't vibrate at all while riding.

It still has the stock FLHX insert. This may be changed in the future, but I'm OK with it for now.
It changed the look of the tank for the better.
Regarding the mirrors, I finally got a chance to try the fairing mirrors out on an extended ride this past week. I like 'em a lot, but I do have to get used to 'em. I like the fact that they don't vibrate at idle and don't shimmy in the wind.
Although not as important, they clean up the look of the bike as well.
Here's a shot of the bike in it's current config, outside, in the sunshine............

Faring mirrors
I just picked up a 2012 Street Glide (trading in my 2010 Road King)....and I gotta tell ya; I'm not crazy about these faring mirrors. I'm looking at my gloves/arms.
On my Road King- I installed the stock mirrors with the longer stems and I LOVED 'em.
I've been looking at the Electras and up...and NONE of those bikes come with faring mirrors (they're all mounted on the bars).
Is there a way to cap off the faring mounts? (if I were to go back to the bar-mirrors).
