I set up my mirrors and then took a scribe and marked them so I would know what postion they have to set in.But now that I have Monkey bars they had to be readjusted to see under my arms so now I am painting them again.

Although I do not have fairing mounted mirrors, if it was me I would get them painted since you will have them off and you will probably get a killer deal since he already has the paint mixed and they aren't that big as to use a lot of paint! Post some pics when you get it done!

I had taller bars installed so the painter filled the mirror holes.Went with the tribal mirrors.I think it looks pretty sweet.You can't tell where the stock mirrors were.

Ibought a fairing from an EG, and had that painted, then installed mirrors on the handlebars.
As for painting the fairing-mounted mirrors; paint the backside of them, but don't paint the ball-joint, as that's an easy spot for the paint to chip if the mirror gets bupmed.
