    Anyone running aftermarket mirrors? I'm looking for lower profile mirrors to fit in stock holders. Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    I've been looking for the same sort of thing for a little while, and I can't find anything that will fit in the stock holders. I think the best bet is to get some that will fit on the ends of the bars.

    Bar ends always look nice!

    If you go with bar-end then you will have an ugly hole left in your stock controls. I replaced everything cos I had to but I would recommend doing one of the other. If you change your mind I have a almost mint condition set of stock mirrors on my shelf.

    if you get bar end mirrors, go to the hardware store and get a pair of the metric chrome plugs and cap the perch holes.

    I don't mind stock they just stick way up in the air? Even 2 inches shorter would be nice. I guess its better to see up over shoulder. Better to be safe.

    Thanks.
