I got mine this weekend and put them on. Install was a snap and make a real difference in how you can see. I can actually see now instead of having to move my arms lol.

So for those who put them on, did you notice any extra vibration with the mirrors are were they still as good as when mounted normally?

Everyone is happy, and that is a good thing. It is hard to see in the photos,
but how close to your hand are they when installed?

yes it a bit of vibration, not a big deal to me, the old bike I had Honda 1300vtx it worst! To be able to see behind, next lane and around your back it worth every penny! great product for safety and cool look! Thanks

Since you have arms like a T-Rex I find that hard to believe Kris!

Which is exactly why I've needed handlebar risers on every bike I've ever owned....

I would agree with this. I had the extensions and I had to have them on my MeanStreak. I had very little vibration on them,and they were great. When I test drove the Vaquero it was not as bad because the handlebars seem closer and I felt at this time I do not need them, but that can change later. I opted for the REEVU helmet instead. ( not cost comaparative by any means,just a decision and a want ).

These do have a good price. I'll keep them in mind. Thanks for posting..
