true but after installing a painted inner faring I prefer to see the paint not the mirrors

Thanks everyone for posting

I've been looking at those myself. I think the lines work well with the monkey bars. I guess for 34 bucks, I can afford to get something else if I don't care for them.

how could i explain... it's like tv set, you always see the same image on a 15" or 60", it's just little. In fact you see behind, not very good but what you need, and you have some sweet small mirrors

Cool, Thanks.

Ness Upswept mirrors:



Might go to PM Torque mirrors later. Originally ordered the PM mirrors but were on back-order for a while. I am satisfied with these so far. These are 13" Prime Apes, and I was not able to use stock fairing mirrors. Could only see out of bottom third of the mirror.
