A long time ago I posted about aftermarket mirrors, but back then it seemed that the stockers gave you the best performance, so I have always had them on my '97. It may be time for a little new bling for the old girl and I started thinking about a new set of mirrors. I just don't want to give up adjustment or visability.
Thanks- Scooby

I've seen several aftermarkets on other bikes, didn't really care for any of them. The question is..do you want to look good or see good? (I'm sure there's mirrors out there that do both, but I don't like to spend money unless I have to)

I use these on my Tourer winddshield. My son calls them my "ugly mirrors". I also know they are expensive, but they have been on my bike for 100,000 miles without any issues. http://saeng.com/category.php?category=61

My selection criteria was that they should look nice on the bike, provide good rearward vision and that I should be very visible in traffic. ...and ended up with Kuryakyn Turn Signal Mirrors. (PS! Convex Glass Mirror) Looking at the mirrors from the front, you'll notice a bank of L.E.D.'s that work as a running light and a super bright auxiliary turn signal. Unlike other lighted mirrors, these lights only face forward so glare is not a factor.

I had the Kury mirrors like Dags but without the lights. I found that I couldn't see that well with them and the glass would shake a little. Ended up going back to stock mirrors and I think I'll stay that way.

I have the stock Yamaha oval mirrors. They look good and have a slight convex curve to them. Just get the mirror heads only as they will fit right on your Valk stems. Fuzzy

I run the Kuryakyn mirrors and am very happy with them. Road last Sat with a group of friends all Harley Owners. Guess who is always asked to lead the group. I noticed in my mirrors that 3 bikes had dropped out of view. I pulled over and asked if any one saw anything or knew where they were. Two riders on either side asked how did I notice theres no way they could count bikes all they could see was a group of head lites bouncing around.  Go figure.
