Custom mirrors do make a big difference in overall look. I am a believer as of today, but I changed my mind and got the Profile Custom with the slotted stem...

The mirrors was one of the first things I changed. Having the stems longer helped with better rear vision.

Don't get me started on this mirror thing. i wrote a tread a while back about looking through the line of my bifocals of my glasses in my factory mirrors, so i bought the tall stem mirrors. They sat great, but the vibration was a bit much. But you guys think the split view mirrors are the way to go? i too will give them a try. Thanks

First thing I changed on the RG was the mirrors. I didn't like the tear drop shape of the OEM mirrors the glass was too small at the outside and limited vision to the rear.

I have the Kury Magnums on my Road Glide. They are about an inch wider than stock and the convex glass gives me a better view of what is behind and alongside me.

The fairing mirrors are cool and clean, but they did not work for me, so I got a pair of black ones with extension bars. Now with my Wild 1 bars, I removed the extensions and replaced the fairing mirrors with Hopnel pouches. Wish they made the split vision in black, would get it in a heartbeat

Anyone using the 2" mirror extensions that MOCO sells? If you have a pic, please post it to see. Tired of looking at my own shoulders..

I may switch to the HD split views but wonder if I should also get the mirror extensions too for extra height.
