Jury out on my new mirrors. Opinions welcome
I like the look, as far as the color matching and workmanship. But I am not sure they go with the retro feel of my Softail Slim.
Plus, they are none too practical. I rode with them on this morning and there is just not enough coverage of what's behind you. I found myself turning my head a ton. Which I guess is both good and bad.

Looks good from the pics. I'm surprised you aren't getting better rear vision with them. Aren't the mirrors larger than the stock mirrors? I replaced my mirrors with similar ones but mine are half convex and half regular. The convex part is for seeing vehicles in the blind spot. They're much better than the small stock mirrors.

I think they look great!
As far as them being functional, I turn my head much more than I use my mirrors anyway. The main reason I use my mirrors is just to make sure someone is going to cream me from the rear when coming to a stop. Other than that, I ALWAYS turn my head when merging or changing lanes and so forth.

They look good, but if they don't work well then it would not be worth it to me.
Look at my "Dumbo ears" mirrors and you can see that I practice what I preach. I never need to "turn my head"..... I can see everything in my mirrors.

Agree with this. They match your bike pretty good.
