Yes those are the first KW's which were just the +2's. they are very comfortable. I've been wanting to try the 2+2's but haven't gotten around to it. Here's a few shots of them on my 04 when I had it

I'm either going with the KW +2's or the WO575. I can keep my stock FLHX mirrors with both but I am leaning toward the WO because they are 1 1/4"

Where did you hear that the fairing mount mirrors were good with +2 Sweepers?

Googling research, I have seen threads with ppl keeping them. I am short so from what I have gathered so far, if you roll the bars toward you (which I plan to do being only 5'6") you can use the stock mirrors. The same holds true for the WO575. If you roll them forward to the fairing, it sounds like they block the mirrors. Anyone that has any experience please chime in as I have never had these installed, just going off research.

I found these pics of the +2 sweepers installed with factory fairing mirrors

Left the stock mirrors on the 575's. No problems. With the internal wiring the dealer had to change the clutch which was 4"s longer then stock.

Also since the fairing was off I upgraded the speakers. You may want to consider any changes while the inner fairing is off.
