Greetings Newguy.. I hate my stock mirrors !! I would like to find something that looks the same but is 2 or 3 inches farther apart.. Im a big guy and have trouble seeing around myself !! I have even put sportster bars on. That helped a little but not quit wide enough yet !!
I know I know................. go on a diet !! ???

I've got tear drop mirrors from thunderbike on my V*1100, and 1 stock rectangular mirror on my savage (held on with duct tape). Arlen ness makes the teardrops too, but with rectangular bar instead of round bar.

Stock. They work. I keep hearing horror stories about aftermarket mirrors vibrating so badly they're worthless, so I haven't even looked. To be honest, the mirrors are kinda low on my budget priority list too.

I have a set of chrome billet slotted mirrors. I got them for Christmas. They were bought at JCWhitney. I think they are about $95.00 with shipping. My stock mirrors had a little vibration and so do the new ones.

Round mirrors on long stems, when I switched handle bars the stock mirrors weren't long enough. They vibrate a bit when above 55mph, plan to replace them one day when I have saved enough loose change.

I put some budget JC Whitney round ones on & they buzzed a lot. Saw some larger & heavier round ones at my dealer, Emigo 20-35210 & they hardly buzzed at all. But the stems were too short so I could only see my arms. Then went back to the JC cheapies but added Kuryakin ISO grips & it cut the buzzing a lot. The grips seem to have weights in the ends to cut vibes. Functionally, my stockers were best so far, I just wanted round ones.

I replaced the stockers with oval shaped cheapos from JC Whitney. They actually looked pretty good but were difficult to get locked securely into position. They tended to vibrate and had a small, flat surface area. Decided safety was more important than vanity and went back to the stock mirrors.
