Default New mirrors

After installing my Cyclesmith 13's, I was having trouble seeing my mirrors. The switch housings were in the way. So after a lot of looking, I settled on Arlen Ness mini ovals. I liked the sleek look of them and heard the view was pretty good. I am very surprised at how well I can see out of these things. May be better that the fairing mirrors.. Anyway, here's the pics:

Good Job!!....Looks like the stock mirrors are pretty much worthless with your bars.

I have a set in BLACK on my '09 RG.
I'm still undecided about them.
Seem awful short, to me.
Wondering if I'll be able to see them over my hand.

was that the best price you could find for the bars and kit? I just started looking, I hadnt calculated it really being that much but I dont really know what all was going to be involved. bars, brake line kit, clutch cable, maybe some wire extensions. How easy/hard was it to do?

Nice I could use those. Your bars look different than mine? Wider? More pull back? Maybe just angle, but they look different. I also have the Cyclesmiths 13"

The add I bid on was a buy it now or best offer. I think i got the for $450 plus shipping. Probably not the best deal if you pieced it together from different places, but I like the all in one. I had my indy dealer do the install so that was another $275

All in all.... Worth every penny. Looks great IMHO and they are extremely comfortable
