I'm looking for a reference on how they should look on mine.

close enough so I can see how it's mounted lol.

I have no idea how I'm going to mount them since they have that weird curvature at the base.

Yes. The only mod you have to do is drill a smal hole in betwen the mirror screw holes to run the turn signal plugs into.

Best pic I got!

Also forgot....

Drill the hole in the fairing mirror plate (flat, rectangular, has the mirror mounting holes) to run the wiring through. Right in the middle. Doesn't need to be too big, you stuff one connector end in and then the other. Run the wiring along the underside of bracket/ "arm" thats underneath the fairing and down into the connectors. If you get these and LED integrated tail like I did you might need a relay flasher. When i got my bike done they did LED tail and installed flasher, but I did 1125s afterwards so if you're just doing mirrors might not need it.

The spikes are from the local rice shop.

The 1125 mirrors mount up good but will need some tweaking to get a decent view out of them.

One thing I would suggest is to drill out the rivet and replace it with a 5/16" bolt and lock nut.
