Not Happy with mirrors, now that fairing is on

azroundboy · 03-20-2011, 06:07 PM

anyone know of a good looking mirror to replace the stock light poles lol. looking to still have two mounted up top but shorter and closer to the bar? Any thoughts or pictures of some installs if any.

I have the Kuraykan ones mounted on the fairing that also are the windsheild chrome - they vibrate and you really don't get a clear picture of what's behind you - but damn - they look good! What was that movie saying ( what sa behind me is of no concern) !

lol I hear ya there do you have a part# os link, I have seen that but its unclear what you need to buy, does it come all in one kit?

Go to Harley section of Kuryakan - mirrors - Prt # 1452 Turn signal mirrors & bar, I started with the 1454 set up but the mirors were way too small and the stuff behind you was not visable. You can see stuff behind you - but the mirrors do vibrate at certain RPM's so they are not as clear as handlebar mounted ones! Much cleaner look and leaves more room for stuff to be mounted were mirros used to be.

I have the fairing mounted Kury mirrors, and they don't vibrate at all. They are a little small, but once you get them adjusted, they are fine. Like you said, they do look good.

Nope - mine buzz! I went with the larger mirrors with the side Led signals. I mean they work okay - you get used to the buzz - they are in a good location on the fairing - you can see side traffic and behind okay - and they are slightly tinted so there is not a glare. I would buy them again.

This isn't probably quite what you are wanting, but it worked well for me.

I turned the mirrors 180 degrees. That pulled them in about two inches and gave them a slightly more stealth look. Try it out and see what you think.

jared can you post a pic?

My signature picture shows it from the front and side.
