I'm sorry I don't like it ... I much prefer the stock look ... I think the mirrors on the fairing give a bike a sort of elegant and poised look ... the ones on the handlebar would also keep getting knocked in my opinion ...

Wow, Those things still around. Ok I will be honest, its up to you, do you like them?
With the handle bar mirrors, you going to cop a bit more vibration through them, when I had them on a different bike, you did not get a great field of view as the bars where never staight ahead, which meant you copped a different view each time. Sure the originals give you a great view of your elbows, but a more static. But they don't look crappy if thats wot your after, just don't throw the originals away.

i wasnt crazy about my stick mirrors either. So I took them off, trashed the rubber boot, sanded down the arm so it was polished steel, clear coated it, painted the mounts black.

i can't imagine the bar end type mirrors being useful other than to be street legal and if they are just to be street legal i would just get a set of the mini mirrors off eBay that replace your original ones, but at the same time if you like it then thats all that matters, some people will love it some will hate it so do what you like and screw everyone else. :)
