I added them, they work and look great. Less vibration than the handlebar mounted ones. Which wasnt much at all. Visibilty is good too. Add em, you wont be sorry.

Rider, TRY BOTH!!!

NO vibration with fairing mounted mirrors.

And long reach mirrors with extended stems give added rear/side visibility too.

VERY practical - especially on the highway - easy to look at traffic and on-ramps simultaneously

I've got them on my 07 SG and to me they vibrate a little more than my 00 Standard mirrors. I sure do like the look though and no problems with visibility. Maybe they will get smoother after I get a dyno tune done.

I switched to fairing mounted mirrors. I like the mirrors a lot, but feel like I gave up a little visibility. I like the look of them enough I would not switch back. Plus once you install them you have holes in the inner fairing.

Money well spent. Gives a clear view and a wider view than stem mounted.
