I have a 2003 w/rectangular. I highly doubt there was an option. In fact, I don't think this bike ever had options, and still doesn't (except for color).

My '06 came with rectangle mirrors. I get a great view of the edge of my shoulders.

Yes, but you should ask yourself this. Now that you've owned one, would you ever dream of not buying one? Hence, not an option!

Are there any decent mirrors for the Savage? I would love to have a view of something besides my shoulder in the rearview.

I have a pair of round ones that came on my sidecar rig. They look like the stalks are longer. $25 includes postage and they can be yours. I can compare the height to my stock ones if you want. Max PM me if interested.

As long as we are talking mirrors, has anyone tried convex mirrors? Having been run down from behind, I like to know whats back there in the blind spots. My 2004 has mirrors that are almost teardrop. Form did not follow function!

I've got a set of round mirrors on mine. the fellow i bought the bike from said he put them on himself.
At any speed other than idle (with my hands on the handle bars), I cannot see anything due to the vibrations of the mirrors. Any ideas for
a fix? I'd really like to be able to see make and model of the cars behind me instead of colored blurry masses.
thanks

Pop the bar end cap off and see if bar end weights are installed.
If not, add bar weights to help cancel vibration. Cheap and easy!
You might also try a small rubber O-ring between the mirror and the stalk.
