I have those mirrors too. Of all the crappy mirrors I got, I like those the most. But they are finally really crappy, vibrate like hell at speed, they used to be real solid. Occassionaly they stick out to far and wap someones mirror. Grin

Yes the mirrors are all held in by double sticky tape. Even the OEM mirror's for my cage are too.

The style is what I was hinting to. As I said, I think the C50 OEM mirrors would work good cause they are solid and you can get them cheap when a C50 owner has replaced their stockers.

You ordered the 10" apes? Cool. I've been told our (mine and yours) stock cables are a little shorter than those that came on bkuesavage's bike. Swapping throttle and clutch cables for those made for a Savage with buckhorns and getting a new brake line should solve the cable issue.

I guess I'll see when they come in. It's more of a future project than something I expect to tackle as soon as they get here. I've got too many open projects now as it is...

Reply #20 - 04/12/09 at 15:38:42 I would wait on the risers until you see about the cables. If you have to get new cables anyway you might want to get taller risers depending on what's comfortable.... Just a suggestion.

Reply #21 - 04/12/09 at 15:57:22 How do the stock Savage risers fit you? And what are your "specs"? I'm like 5'6"ish... So I have a feeling that these will fit just fine with some stock risers on there. Besides, the bid is at $4.95 for the set right now (they're slightly damaged on the top - but I'll just use my top piece) so it's good for the cost.

Nice bike! +1, but those bars are illegal here in Louisiana That foot gear doesn't look very protective.

I just bought this one off EBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350185917292

Quick shipping, the product is great, and he even sprayed it black for me at request.

The only issue is that... It doesn't fit. I was looking for something that would push the plate out behind the belt guard. This is 2" too short. I e-mailed him to see if he could fabricate something that would accomodate that.

I need to have something that I can keep my saddlebags with.
