I've got those, they're much better then stock. Would highly recommend them.

Those are VERY Nice, just a little pricey

If I ever replaced my mirrors I would go with those for sure.

I have the Kuryakyn Chrome Mirror Extenders. They get them UP and OUT too !!! They were on my 09 FLHRC, and I took them off that and put them on my 2012 FLHTC.

Don't know what year bike you are riding but if it is a late model you might want to check out your handle bar bushings and front suspension. I haven't ridden a bike for a long time that had that kind of vibration in the mirrors. Even extra long stems.

XIB -- Thanks. I ride an 09 SG, and only got back into bikes 5k miles ago (or last June). I may have overstated the blur in the PM mirriors. My reference point is the OEM batwing mirrors, which are remarkably stable. On my bike there is no vibration w/ the OEM at any speed. The image w/ the PM is sufficient to ID an overtaking car but the vibration nixes any clarity. It wierds me out to have to figure out what's in the mirror, and I know other mirrors do much better.

I believe the PM vibration is due to 2 things: the metal mirror is v/ heavy and it's attached to a base via a skinny ~3/4" stem and small ball socket. Conversely, the OEM are very light plastic and attach via a large rubber ball socket.

I'm about to have my inner painted. If my paint guy is good with filling the mirror attachment holes (I let him decide these things) I'm switching to bar mounts. If not, I'll keep searching for a better design.

I'd like feedback from riders using Wicked One's products. They look sweet, are made here, and are bigger than OEM and PM.

I always turn my head to make lane changes so that feature is not that advantageous to me. If I like it I will do the left too as I am pretty happy with the look of the HD mirror and the no adjustment screws on the back.
Good Luck with your Search (Cheapskate post has some good ABS repair techniques)

If they do work for you I'll charge your card after that week when you tell me you want to keep them. Email us @ mike@wickedimage.com

If they are fairing mounted mirrors----------I use kuryakyn blind spot mirrors. Work for me well and have led turn signals.

I haven't used their mirrors, but I have bought a couple of other items from wickedimage, and they have been some of the best people to deal with, that I have come across. They have always been very helpful and friendly any time I called them.I would do business with them at anytime, and I think the above offer sounds like a great way to check the mirrors out, heck give 'em a try.
