I agree the TG could use some better mirrors and I may look into the split vision ones....but I was told a long time ago by a crusty old rider and it's stuck with me...
"Mirrors tell you where you CAN'T GO not where you CAN GO"
I still do a head check before changing lanes etc....
JFYI
Zoood, go to the Harley on-line parts catalog and plug in the part number; there are two good pictures of the running light/directional indicator mirrors.
Also look at my signature picture, there a "not-so-good" picture of my mirrors.
id you get a video of that ?. could have been worth some money on funnies home videos. Hope nothing was hurt, bet buddys are on that for a while. Sounds like the mirrors would be a good investment.
Boom, Im not sure where the holes you have plugged in your fairing are. I have the older inner fairing. But instead of plugs. I covered my fairing holes with the convex fish eye mirrors. Let's you see in those blind spots.

I like the idea of the fish eye mirrors. But looking at your photo, do the mirror stems cut thru your line-of-site or do you have to lean forward to see those fish-eyes? I've got the holes plugged but maybe I can install those little mirrors in the existing holes. Ya got a part number? BTW, I've got the Kuryakyn long stems and they seem to have the same angle and reach as yours.
I put the little 1 1/4" convex mirrors that just stick on the stock mirrors (I got 'em at Wally world for less than 5 bucks for the pair). I CAN see my rear fenders as well as blindspots and other lanes. I also added the mirror extensions, a Harley part, for like 35 bucks and that lets me see more than my elbows.
I DO like the idea of the lighted turn signal mirrors if they extend out far enough to see around my fat self.
