Changed the stock mirrors on the street glide, what a difference in visibility.
Not sure why Harley doesn't put these on in the factory like they do the electra glide.

 

Wish we would've run across each other earlier -- I was so used to the mirrors on my SG that when I went to the EGC, it (SG mirror set) was one of the first parts I ordered.

True though -- The regular mirrors give you a somewhat wider field -- But I took care of that with some creatively-placed blind-spot mirrors (and not where HD put those new dual-view things).

 

What did you use to plug the holes?
Thanks

 

it looks like you're using the mirror stem extensions. i hated the mirrors on my 08 streetglide since i bought it new in 08, but i've got use to them. i also have a black set of stock harley mirrors that are just like the ones you're using, only black. i'm just going to leave the stock sg mirrors in place, get a pair of mirror extensions like you're using and use the black mirrors i have along with the stem extensions. who knows, it may remind me of the quadraphenia album by the who, decades ago where the vespa rider had about 20 mirrors on his scooter.

 

Get these from your dealer, Part #s 732 and 755 are plugs made for this. They are mentioned as being needed when you replace your bars with the HD apes. I bought them and I had to ream out the small hole with a drill bit by hand but it wasn't a major undertaking.

 

I put the kuryakyn blind spot mirrors on my fairing and they are way better than the stock sg mirrors. Night and day!

 

How do those look when installed?

Don't those parts leave the fairing with 4 plugs, as opposed to 2?

Thanks

 

I bought 3/4 inch plastic plugs at ACE hardware, 60 cents a piece, used a dremel to make the holes the right size, working from inside of the fairing, sealed them on the inside and works great.

 

Funny...I just found the stock mirrors from my old 05 XL1200C and was thinking about giving them a try on my FLHX. Looks like they'll fit nicely...great job!

 

I just mounted a set of CVO Rumble Collection mirrors.
