Vaquero Mirror
My left hand mirror was not mounted very tight and some dumbass who shall remain nameless
 tried to take the glass out to tighten the mount and the glass cracked. I did this on my Shadow without problems. Anyway, looks like the glass isn't sold separately so I'd have to buy a new mirror unit (around $53 at Bike Bandit). Does anyone have a LH mirror lying around they're not using? Please PM me if you have one you don't need.Signed Dumbass

Big is better, I even have the 2 inch fish eye stick on mirrors in the corner of both mirrors

You're welcome to mine if you wind up not liking the Kury's...I took them off with about 300 miles on them so they're mint.

I did get the glass out by pulling on the rubber surround with a pair of needle nose pliers around the large radius corner (about where my finger is). Inside are a couple of screws you can tighten the linkage up bit.

No worries, glad to help. Here's an example of an extender that may solve your shoulder viewing issues...there are a bunch of different ones, this is just the first I dug up.

I see fine out of my mirrors that are slightly smaller and I always take a quick peek over my shoulder before changing lanes. And I wanted black mirrors.

I don't know if you have this figured out yet?
but all your local glass companys cut mirror replacments too just take him the mirror to cut a pattern can be done in a couple of hours then simply held in place with silicone, just a thought or purchase new mirrors
