Depends on how wide your shoulders are. I am broad shouldered so they were terrible for me. I put the 13" apes on and had to go with handlebar mirrors anyway.
You really need to ride one to find out how they will work for you.

I'm in the same dilemma as you, Bagger on those windshield mounted mirrors from Kuryakyn. Never seen one on any of the touring bikes at Bike Weeks or Poker Runs.
Here's the link:

I have had mine on for about 6 months. The templates for locating them is not for tall riders. If mine were located better I would like them better. They look better and also in cold weather the old mirrors seem to put wind on your hands. JMHO

Put them on my 08 Ultra, love them, glad I got rid of the handle bar mounted mirrors. Just one caution, read the instruction more than once and take your time. Don't drill at the dots on the template, go to the end of the arrow. Also tape it down. Kinda of hard to find that large of drill bit, found a wood bit a Lowe's. Worked great. Drill the small pilot hole on the inside, then the larger hole drill from the outside, so as not to mess up the fairing.
Once the mirrors are adjusted correctly, in my opinion they are better.

I'm a very wide shouldered guy. I have a big problem with the OEM mirrors on my Ultra. I can't see past elbows without tucking them in when I need to. I was hoping the fairing mounted ones would eliminate that problem. They appear to be a little farther out than the handlebar mounts.
Any thoughts from any other lard butts out there?
