I would also be interested to know if you can use the stock mirrors with the WO577

Anyone have any thoughts/experience?

Here's a few pics. Stock mirrors don't work very well. Maybe 40% visibility and I had to lift my arms to see that much. May work better for a shorter person...I'm 6' 3". I have put new mirrors on and removed the fairing mirrors. No pics of new mirrors yet.

My dealer was suppose to install my 13.5Cyclesmiths next week as part of the purchase agreement but now I am having second thoughts. I am on the short side 5'7"-8" and I am concerned they will not be able to pull them back enough.

Default thanks

Thanks guy/gals im really torn on what bars to get. The Wife tells me that there is no way she is going to ride on the bike with me if they are sticking over the bat wing ( she says they look silly). Shes my riding buddy and my bank so I umm (awww damn) will not be putting on a set that is that high I believe I can get away with the 12.5 but there is no way I can go with the 13.0. anyhoot thanks for the pics....

I think those are Performance Machine grips. I got a good deal on those on Ebay. For the guys with apes, do your arms get tired when they are up like that?
