The original bar mounted ones were pretty adequate. I bought the "Live to Ride" mirrors and they are a little shorter and my elbows are an issue. I've been thinking, but I hate to spend more money, about getting the long stem "Live to Ride" mirrors. They are taller and on the long stem I'm wonder if there will be vibration issues. Hopefully someone out there is using them. Waiting on your wisdom:-)

Thanks for the warning. I'll be up your way in a few days. Annual Holiday Dinner with a bunch of peeps from the Avalanche club meet in Bronson at Bill's Steakhouse.

I'm like you am a guy that uses his mirrors.Those fairing mirrors are not what you want.
I used these longer stem stock looking mirrors on my 2008 Street Glide: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US
They come left and right $40 each.

I went with these; Wicked Image Fast Lane Mirrors
They work real well, as they stick out further on the sides, as the bat-wing mirrors should and do a little bit, but are more "mickey mouse ear" in design.
The Wicked Image mirrors are not plastic either.
I'm runnin' Khrome Werks Sweepers + 2 handlebars too, much more comfy and easier on your back.
Here's W1's with convex blind spots too.
They both come in chrome, black or contrast.
Cheapest place to get them is Direct Harley Parts too.
Hope that helps, put a different spin on fairing mirrors which IMO look cleaner, are are much less obtrusive.
