I must've changed a million things on my old FXRS but I stayed with the factory mirrors. They were great. The factoryteardrop-shaped mirrors on my new EGC aren't near as good as the old-style rectangular ones.

Hey man...thats a sweet scoot you got there! I think the new mirrors look like they belong on a bar hopper with a 300 rear tire. Doesn't go with that old schoolnastalga look you got there. Just my 2 cent!!

Probably don't work on your style of bike. Agree with other person who said they are a "'bar-hopper" style...which is cool on that type of bike.

Have an '08 Street Glide and am going for improvement in function. Fairing mount mirrors don't give a wide enough angle to suit my fear of something creeping up on me fromthe rear. Just saw ad for www.wickedimage.com and replacement fairing mount mirrors that include a small fish eye. Anyone know anything about them?

it seems to me that my left mirror is shorter than my right one.
i can see whats behind me from theright but in the left one i can only see my shoulder.
a guy at the dealer said its "supposed" to be like that. BS!
i cant like the stock mirrors.

You dont have a hunch back do ya? J/K they are not supposed to be that way, check to see if your mounts ( control clamps)are squared and level when the buke is up and straight, had similar issue, not the hunchback though.

To be trueful any thing is better than the stock mirrrors. Ditched mine for a set of Kury's. The H-D's would only show my shoulders

I had the same problem. I wrote to H-D. Told them selling a bike that a 6'1" 230lb man can't see past his shoulders is just plane stupid. You gotta draw the line on accessorize somewhere. They need to give you 2" up and 2" out. I had to spend $200 on mirrors (made the guys hold them up on a Deuce in the showroom to make sure I could see) on billet mirrors to just ride safely. And the mirror film is so thin (these are H-D mirrors), that you can actually see thru the mirror in certain light to the hardware inside.

I actually think the ones that come on the newer bikes lookbetter than the aftermarket ones Ive seen. I was glad HD got away from those big square "tv set" type mirrors.

They came from Kury. P/N 1438 ($99.00 a Pair) They look great fit and hold tight.

Screws,

I like those Kuryakyn mirrors. I willsend mine back but I will have to pay 20% re-stocking fee. I rode to work today and I couldn't she anything. My safety is more important.
