So my wife doesn't back over me again! Was kneeling behind her trike, fixing the stupid trunk latch so the trunk would close. She hit reverse, pinned my left leg under the bumper, ran the trunk door into my ribs, smacked my helmet on the ground before she figured out something was not right. All this in front of the 6 other bikes we were riding with.

I had the Street Glide style mirrors on my TG very briefly. They do offer a wider view than stock but I didn't think about my WO575 chubbies at time of purchase. After installing mirrors, I see that handlebars cut right through line of sight in the mirrors. Duh! Guess I didn't do enough homework! Returned mirrors. Now I have plastic plugs where I drilled holes in my fairing!
I now use Kuryakyn mirrors with extended stems (removed from my '05 Road Glide).

Light/Directional Mirror
Is that an HD part #, are instructions included on picking up the electrical.
I like the extra visibility also..
