Whether you like the look or not is subjective, but my decision was functional.
With the mirrors in the stock location i could only see elbows, with em flipped i can see behind me.
It's just a bonus that i happen to think it looks good... apparently the MoCo agrees.

 

we should both sue them.....
me for them stealing the Iron idea, and you nightster guys could do a class action lawsuit on the flipped mirrors

 

I have a set of bar end mirrors on my BMW and that’s ok. I do kind of like the look of bar end mirrors in general. The other day I saw a set on a Buell XB12S Lightning that looked really good on it. They will more than likely get damaged if the bike were to hit the ground in some way. Here in sunny Southern California I Lane-Split/White-Line all the time and I would rather NOT use bar end mirrors for that reason alone.

 

Check out the small one i have. The glass is curved and it allows me to see behind as well as beside me. And best of all......$6 at Wal-Mart. It doesnt vibrete or move out of position either. Adjustable w/ an allen wrench to hold it tight.

 

first, the forty-eights are definitely hitting in april...have mine on lock at the dealer. i dig the flipped mirrors and the overall low profile of the bike. i'm moving the speedo to this side though, and dropping the rear quite a bit, adding a bobber tan leather solo to her too.

hey shu, (i think it was you talking about this), maybe you can help me get rid of that oil bladder too...not sure how it'd look, so if you have some pics on other bikes that have a triangle frame and a round oily, let me know. even though i really have no idea how to begin that kind of work.....lol. sounds like a disaster waiting to happen!

 

Personally I'm kinda against them for my bike. I have some good little round ones on my yami streetfighter but I just don't think it would look right. And the fact that I truly do like the flipped mirror look seals it for the iron. My .02

 

kinda tough to see outta em on 16" apes. I personally prefer the flipped look on the apes.

 

I have 1 bar end mirror on left side I got the 1 from joker machine.

 

this one looks cool,but kinda pricey.
