Title: new mirrors
Post by: dans2014 on February 11, 2016, 05:30:34 PM
 :) I ordered some taller, wider mirrors off good old ebay for $18.00. Now I can see behind me, unlike the shorty factory mirrors. I'm 6-4 and that may make a difference compared to a 5-8 rider. Anyway, feels good to see better behind me.

I didn't like the oem mirrors either.  I bought some aftermarket ones but they didn't work right with my new bars.  I just bought some black oem mirrors off a Victory.  I like the look and they stick out farther than the other mirrors.

Hey you guyz...u know that is one thing I do not like to much either..

The mirrors.  The ones on my old 03' 1100 Shadow were not only of better quality...but they were perfect size wise.  I loved them!

Do you think the thread size is the same as the Valk?  I am wondering if I can find a pair of old ones on fleabay for a Shadow that I could use on the new Valk.

I'm pretty sure that Michelin makes a pair!  :crazy2: :D

I had a great set of Kury mirrors with blinkers on my VTX 1800, looked and functioned properly and had a good view of what was behind me
