oh yea "for sale stock harley mirrors"

 

ain't that the truth!

 

I put my stock mirrors on the wife's 2001 Heritage. She had the old model rectangle mirrors and wanted the teardrop shape, so everything worked out well.

Anyone want to buy a set of old style mirrors?

This is an old thread but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to do with the stock mirror mounting holes now that I installed the fairing mount mirrors. I would like to install a chrome button plug but not sure what size.

 

I want to rig mine so that I can put a GPS on one side and maybe my Sirius receiver on the other - I have seen some interesting mounting options out there and I will be deciding over the winter what to do - I agree for a clean look you can't beat Chrome buttons but for me that real estate is too valuable to give up - Something needs to be hung there for long trips

 

I have fairing mounts, love em' Really cleans up the look, easy to install and vision is just as good if not better than handlebar mounts

 

First, to answer the original question - the fairing mount mirrors are, in my opinion, the best customizing bang-for-the-buck possible, they just looks awesome and make the stock mirrors looks like flimsy/ugly/eye sores.

I too had the exact same concerns: vibration and vision. I was totally surprised the the fairing mounts were better in both categories - better vision and LESS vibration (i.e. none). Sweet.

Now, that's a great question regarding plugging the leftover holes from the stock mirrors. I found some chrome plugs from a dealer, that fit quite perfect, with a little finesse and a jackniFe. Not sure what my "plugs" were originally designed for, but they appeared to be the type of plugs that would fit into the head of a larger sized allen bolt - know what I mean? Just ask a dealer if they have any chrome plugs that are about the size of the mirror hole, and see what you can figure out.

Necessity is the mother of invention!

 

I put them on my 03 standard and it was pretty easy, I now have themon my 05 Ultra and Mikes did the install. I think they open a huge range unlike the stock mirrors. I also think they look better

I put the faring mirrors on my 05 EG and the Ultra had them on it when I got it. They are great. I have a better field of vision and there is no vibration. Plus the bike looks more streamlined with them.

 

Someone was reading this thread, saw my XM Radio and sent me a PM about the instillation. This PM got deleted from my machine before I was able to respond, and before I saw who it was.

I am not ignoring you, I just don't have a way to respond, so if you would PM me again, I will get you the info you want.
