Looks cool -- did ya do it yourself or have it done? Also, did you use the stock mirrors or have some cut to fit? _____________________________ It's better to burn out ... Than high side!

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. (in reply to xvcydvx) Post #: 7

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!
