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 !! ???

Reply #2 - 03/17/06 at 11:27:37 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.

To be honest, the mirrors are kinda low on my budget priority list too.

I think they are about $95.00 with shipping. My stock mirrors had a little vibration and so do the new ones.

Reply #9 - 03/18/06 at 05:53:23 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.

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.
