Looks good, I like the lines (not the wires).  
I think some trailer lights may fill the whole front of the mirror though.
Then little things may produce enough light, I don't think have enough surface area to be seen clearly.    you know objects in the mirror are closer then they appear kinda things, little lights far away big lights 'where did he come from'  
I've been toying with the idea of getting some of those walley world chrome spots to put on those fork mounts once the sigs are off.

now what are you going to do for mirrors?..... could you still use the bar-ends bolted on top of the signal mounts?..... they might hide the back-side of the signal stalks...

Yep. They are convex on the outside to provide even more view.  You know, just like those mirrors you see up high on the wall in stores to make sure you don't shoplift!

There's about the same mirror real estate on those, and in some cases more, than on many of the custom mirrors like:



They have slightly more viewing area than my previous stemmed custom mirrors that are in some of the ealier pics of my bike (without saddlebags pics) on this site.  So, to me it's just a relocated mirror.  Also, I found some new flush mount LED turn signals today.  I'll put them on tomorrow and post some more pics.  

Yeah, the close up pic I posted doesn't show it with the mirror installed.  The mirrors are in their own housing.  It's in the hollow space that the wires are hidden.  The mirrors are similar to those rectlagular, convex blindspot mirrors you can pic up at auto stores.  These are just a little bigger, made with real glass and start to become convex more on the outside.  I think they are high quality mirrors tghat augment the big mirrors on 18 wheelers.

Ha ha.  I guess you can tell by the environment that I live out in the country!

Nah, they are not true blind spot mirrors.  They don't have enough curve to be blind spot mirrors.  They have a slightly convex shape that allows more visual area.  These are the mirrors.  They measure 3" wide by 1 7"8" tall.  



These are the old ones I used to use:


You can see how the new ones give me more mirror. The old ones worked great except I'd have to lower my arm a little to get a full view of the action behind me.  That's why I started down the path of the bar end mirrors- I wanted to improve the visual.     The new ones have a bigger mirror than my old ones above and the slightly convex shape makes them work even better.  I rode about an hour this afternoon and I'm quite happy with them.  It's like riding with mirrors that seem like they are about 50% larger than they actually are.  

I'm liking it, but turn them around so the pointy part is outward.

That would indicate which way your turning just in case they didn't understand from the bike blinking on that side, you know how cagers are.
