Default Anybody Here Using Both Sets of Rearview Mirrors?

Has anyone installed the fairing mirrors and kepts the oem mirrors? If you have a pic, please post it. Also, does it really help with your blind spot visibility? Would using both be considered overkill?

Send forum member "dchoran" a PM and ask him to post a pic of his scoot. He has more than a couple of mirrors on his

I have a 08 and did not like the small little mirrors and want to live longer so I added more mirrors

I bought my bike used and the guy put the fairing mirrors on and 1 regular mirror on the left side......looked strange to me.......not that looks are more important than safety but.......i always check my blind spot by turning my head....do it in the cage and am usually quite aware what is behind and around me....most the problems for riders is who and what is in front of them.......

Do whatever you want.....we all know looks and styles of bikes are all relative....

What I'd like to see is an oversized split view fairing mirror.

I also have those overpriced mirror extensions seen in your pictures, they work great for improving visibility IMHO...Was thinking about the faring mirrors too...Rode my buddys 09 SG and liked the faring mount mirrors...
