What I meant by that was "Mirrors! We don't need no stinking mirrors!"

Looks cool -- did ya do it yourself or have it done? Also, did you use the stock mirrors or have some cut to fit?

looks sweet... you should be able to hook him up with some business from your buds. I agree, the mirrors on our bikes are mostly for state inspection reasons. My broad shoulders block everything behind me. I'm still trying to adjust them to a point where they are usable, but I have so many different riding postures it's not likely. Since I have to have them on... I might as well look having it done to mine. I work in a place that has sand blasting and bead blasting machines.

loks nice, Iwouldnt mind havn em, but to the rest of you... I use my mirrors: To see if the cops start followin me, If I am lookn real good today, Or what about stop lights people??! ever almost been slammed into? its quite scary I almost got boned up the ass by a dumb bitch in a volvo, I saw it coming and shot between the cars in fron of me she was on her cell and didnt see the light, The lady she ran into was pissed i moved but obviously she was an idiot too!! so mirrors are cool and useful especially at stop lights it saved me!

I don`t know how you saw her coming, I have the same problem the others have with my mirrors all the way out..... I couldn`t even begin to see whats in the lane behind me unless I take my hand off the bar and lean off to one side out of the way....
The RR looks great, nice job xvcydvx.

the left mirror is good for me, but the right never really helped me.. just like my 69 camaro ( i was taught to look back, camaro had smaller mirrors then bullet bikes, so good luck trying to see something).. but i'm so used to no mirrors, it's just easier.. the left mirror works for me..
