Replaced mine with the HD Profile mirrors.

They are maybe a little more slender but are wider. They give a much wider field of vision than the stock mirrors.

I got a pair of Harley's "long stemmed" mirrors. Got tired of looking at my elbows.

Go with POLICE oversized true image mirrors from a FLHTP or FLHP. You will never go back to regular.

I put the Harley Davidson extensions which raised the mirrors a good inch and half. Problem resolved.

I swapped my OEM mirrors for a set of CVO Rumble Edition mirrors but it didn't change the rear view any.

Geez....almost picket them up today when i was at the dealer to pick up a spacer for my shifter. Sat on a trade-in that had the fairing mirrors and thought they're better then stock mirrors. Back to square one.....
You wouldnt have a pic of them, would ya??...on the bike.

I had the split-vision mirrors for a while and agree that they are better than the stock mirrors.

Then I went with the chrome fairing mount mirrors and like them even more! Good sight picture and appearance.
