Don't Go with the moco mouse ear-ed lookin' ones. They're lame.
These are much better and way better made, not plastic..
These are made by Wicked Image and they're called Fast Lane Mirrors.
They stick out a little further from the fairing which is a good thing. They are not at all obtrusive..
I got em and they were a 100% improvement over the stock mouse ear mirrors.

I put the HD ones on my bike and am VERY happy with them. I highly recommend you mount them 1 inch higher than the instructions say
.

I'm going with them on my bike. I have tried them in the past. I see great and like the looks better than handlebar mounted.

I would not go with handlebar mounted either, as they look like bug antennas to me, defeats the purpose.

I had the moco ones in my SG and they leave a lot to be desired.

That's why I went with the W 1 Fast Lanes, but they're not $60 bucks, and not plastic either,
they're a buck fifty and metal.

However knowing what's coming up on my *** is very important to me..

Thanks

I have them and they work great for me 5'-10" 230 lbs I agree with mounting them higher than instructions and even a little more to the outside also. They do not really vibrate and they hold their position well too. I would like to try the HD split ones to see how they would work they are a little larger and have two view in them.

thanks to all for the feedback - I still like the moco mirrors (like Pastor John's) the best based on looks along, but I've decided to go with the Kuryakyn's for what appears to be more functionality and because the indy that's doing all my work after my wreck is a dealer for drag specialties. He's giving me a good deal on them, and he's doing a lot of stuff for me so I think it'll be a nice little kick in for him.
