Too much time on my hands last weekend...
From the front, straight on, you can't even see them. Big help splitting lanes. |

Does this look stupid? Only if they hit the frame or your leg. |

Brakes2late Loose weight or buy a set of Aprilia Tuono mirrors. I am at 300 plus and see just fine around myself with the Tuono's. $ 38 bucks from a local Aprilia dealer here in DFW a few years back. Oh the question? Yes! AHhahaaaaa, bar end type if your doing the low look. You asked! AHahahaaaaaaaa. BDRAG |

They clear frame, air box cover and knees at full lock. |

No problem seeing around myself, just got bored and it was free to try so why not. Its actually kinda growing on me after two days. For some reason it cut vibration in half too. Go figure. |

I rode Honda XL250S's in the late 70s, early 80s. I mounted the mirrors under the bars to keep from landing my ribs on them off road. Got pulled over in vegas by a Motorbike LEO. Let me go as soon as I pointed to them. Looks a lot cleaner with them under. |

Yeah, I like the concept but moving them up and in a little would clean up the look. If I go with it I'll probably find a set of mirrors with shorter shafts. I can't believe how much less they shake... |

My wife's sportster's stock mirrors are clear and sharp throughout the rpm range. The shafts are shorter and solid. I'd swear her bike has more vibration than my ULY but you'd never prove it with the mirrors. |

Does this look stupid? Abso-positive-lutely NOT stupid looking, IMO! I wish I could do that with the mirrors/turn signals on my CR! Damn pods...Thanks H-D! 1313 |

Here's how they are mounted. I made these when I first got the bike so I could see around my arms better but they made it easy to flip the mirrors as well.
