I would use one small round HD mirror mounted upside down on the left side. Use a acorn or spike nut to dress up the protruding stud on top of your control. That strut trick did you right.. Lookin killer so far. I dont run any mirrors but some jackwad blew by me on a red light while I was sittin at an intersection with my girl on the back a couple nights ago. I was so pissed. If I had a mirror I would have ran the light to attempt control of the situation. The dude pulled into the store at the next block. Needless to say he and I had a little talk and I am thinking mirrors again.

Took the street bob for a quick blast today and it seems like all is good with the 200mm tire. Iam not sure if its just me but the bike seems to lean into turns much nicer now. The belt seems to not be wearing and no rubbing of the tire. I'll have to see how it all looks after a long ride.

I just spread the struts then bolted the fender back on. The fender is thin and kinda spread out when bolted back up. I think it will not rub but only time and miles will tell and my girl sitting on the back also

I just installed the rear Burly 10.5 Black shocks on the SB tonight and dam is it low!
Here are a bunch of before (stock shocks) pictures.
And then the after (burly shocks) pictures
You can see my girl friend in the back ground..she is walking away a little pissed after she just seen how low it is..
So with that being said, I set them to the middle setting on the preload. Iam about 190lbs and she is about 110lbs. Iam not to concerned with how it will ride with just me on it but once we are 2 up how will it ride? Should I just go right to the stiffest setting on the preload? It seems like there is some room for tire clearance still

The wife and I are about the same weight! I turned mine up two notches. We have done many rides at that setting and she has never complained about the feel, course I don't ride as aggressive with her on the back ( I ride slower, so I see the bumps and holes soon enough to avoid them). Things are different when I ride and it now shows, i hit a hole at around 80 and I felt it.the bleed nipple on the rear caliper hit my fender and dinged, nothing bad though. I email burly to get some info on the premise settings, if I get anything back I will post it.
Over all I love the shocks look and fill. I wouldn't trade them for anything,except maybe a Street Glide, lol!!
