Was it worth it? Where did you find a compatible replacement? Just thinking about it for mainly aesthetic reasons. Thanks.
On the one hand, I find it difficult to believe that any after market mirror set would end up being more aesthetically pleasing than the stock mirrors....Was it worth it? Where did you find a compatible replacement? Just thinking about it for mainly aesthetic reasons. Thanks.

...on the other I've noticed how any photo of the front of the bike reminds me of Gary Larson's cows with their ears sticking straight out.

I used RV mirrors on the 08 and 13. Really opened up what I could see when passingSomeone had mounted an addition pod I believe o. The top....I just can't find the thread....
The mirror itself adjust, fyi, but u have to be very careful while pressing on it. Mine cracked b4 it adjusted...
I've thought about those for awhile, and yeah, great point about location. I would have gone to upper outside of mirror just because... well no good reason. But lower inside to hide bar weight, lever, and 2 gloved fingers is much better. Thanks.Not about aesthetics...so technically off topic (one of my specialties that I share with COGdom) but I thought we're talking mirrors so...
The crescent roll shaped ones that clamp on top of the side mirror are pretty good (for vision, not aesthetics) but I had to get rid of mine when I installed side firing LED turn signals inside the mirror housing like Fred Harmon did because the clamp goes right where the LEDs are. So if you decide to use stick on mirrors I recommend the round ones that you spin to aim instead of poking them with your finger. I have the type you aim by moving them with your finger on my dual sport and they seem to constantly need adjustment, the ones on my C14 haven't moved since I initially installed them. Placement is best down low on the inside. They are useful no matter where you place them on the stock mirror but since the stock mirror only shows the saddlebags on the lower inside that seems to be the best place to install the wide angle mirrors (assuming you've pinned your bags) unless you need to keep checking to insure your bags are still there.
