Default Why not change the mirrors?

I'm looking at changing my mirrors tommorrow. I have noticed that this is one mod that is either greatly overlooked or there is something I don't know. Why don't more people change out there mirrors?

Here is what I am looking at:

I've changed the mirrors on every bike I've owned and so have most of my riding partners.

I first changed to the Fairing mirrors on my ultra hated them, visibility was way reduced IMO. Of course that gave me the excuse to color match my innner fairing (how else do you get ride of the holes . Then I went with the Split vision mirrors and they are the best thing... give you almost a 360 degree view or your soundings.

I've been thinking about it but never pulled the trigger ... bigger bang for buck spent elsewhere. Someday, that target will come within my 50 meter range and I will engage. Your choice is nice.

The reason some do not change their mirrors is because it's a fine line between looks and function. The small mirrors look good but are almost useless due to being small and the vibration. I personally will not change mine because the stock mirrors work for me and look good enough to keep. It's nice to try before you buy if possible because what looks good on the shelf might look like crap on your ride. Theres always ebay if it sucks.

I have changed the mirrors on every bike I have ever owned with the exception of the new SG. I like the fairing mirrors.
