Default Wicked image fairing mirrors

Can anyone comment about these mirrors? How do they compare with the Harley fairing mirrors? Are they easy to install if you are putting them on an UC that does not have holes already?

Sweet, I just took a look at these on their site. I'm not familiar with these piticular mirrors but I've used alot of Wicked Image products in the past and the quality has been excellent. As far as how they compare to the stock HD fairing mounted mirrors I can pretty much guarentee they are not made out of plastic as Harleys are. And I'm sure as far as drilling holes in your inner fairing, I'd like to think these are direct replacement's and getting the templete from your local harley shop wouldn't be hard. How? Have them pull the kit up on there screen and print the templete out. i know because I've done it. Or Email me and I'll send it to you. i still got it......Rich

My brother uses these mirrors.
He loves them.
They have a split lens, one for wide angle.
I'd think they were better than HD's fairing mount mirrors.

check these out. They are a ton cheaper and have the convex mirror incorporated in the rest of the glass. These are the mirrors that I will be going with.

This is the first time I've seen those mirrors, they look fine too, but I was looking for something that is already available in chrome. I've also considered the ones from performance machine , but like the Wicked Image better.

I just put a set of these ( in black) on my '09 SG yesterday. Very nice quality...MUCH nicer than the plastic HD ones....the regular mirror is made of REAL glass not plastic. Not sure about the convex part. Evverything else is aluminum billet. I haven't had a chance to ride with them, so I've yet to see how well they function. I'm sure the convex "fish eye" portion will be VERY handy.
I talked to Arin the day he shipped...He called to verify the spelling on my address which was wrong. Talked for a minute or so about the mirrors.....seemed like a good dude to deal with.

Have them on an 08 SG and love them, bolt right up to existing holes - 15 min job. For the UC you will have to drill but not a big deal.

Got mine in black, using around 8 months. Better field of view and the bind spots are great. Very well made and stay put.

I have the Kuryuakyn Blind spots installed. I like the look and the Signal function. The shimmy took a little while to get used to... not while riding but at Idle.maybe the stems did to but I never noticed

Man... I love this forum! Just when I think that I have seen it all... the products just keep on coming!! I need to go get a paper route now so that I can pay for all of this. Looks like the kids teeth are going to remain crooked for a while longer....

I have the chrome ones. Been on for a year or so, love the mirrors, the convex is the only thing I can see out of after putting Wild One 575 bars on, but other than that, good quality for sure.
