Default Performance Machine Fairing Mirrors

Anyone running these? And do the go in place of stock Street Glide mirrors or do you need to drill additional holes?

They bolt right in to the factory mounting holes. No need to drill.

I'd be curious to know if they have a more viewable area than the stock fairing mirrors......especially with Yaffe 10" MBB.

I'd be curious to know this also. In comparing this to the Harley mirror online, the PM mirror seems to have a sharper angle and therefore less viewable area.

I like that the mount is small and the mirrors are streamlined.Think they will work with 14"s?

I had them. Beautifully made, but not enough visibility for me, and vibrated too much.

I think the viewable area is just about the same as the stock mirrors. They work with my 14" apes. I like the more streamlined look of them and they're easier to adjust your viewing angle than the stock mirrors. I've also heard stories of the stock mirror housings cracking. My stock ones never did, but the guy I sold them to says his did after only about two years.

First, went to wicked image fast lanes. Much better. Then i got new bars that put my hands in the middle of the mirrors, so i bar-mounted the fast lanes using wicked i stems. Way huge improvement in usefullness. Fairing mounts look great but I gotta see more stuff around me.
