I broke a mirror off of my bike over the weekend, I am finding it will be easier to replace both mirrors as to trying to find a match, besides the fact that the tear drop mirrors to me weren't giving enough of a view.

I have a few choices, what I would like is to get other opinions on these choices, let me know what you think of these choices.









This last one would match the grips I have now.

Thanks for the input.

Hi Jim,

I love the classic look of the rectangular side mirror, so the last one pictured with the gold eagle looks best to me.

Either of the last two....the 1st two look like a bear to clean/polish. After cleaning/polishing my bike for 2 1/2 hrs the other day, I'm beginning to hate chrome. :roll:

Have you tried the spray ICE? It works well for me and does a moderate amount of cleaning also, much better to work with than wax.

I've seen your bike, and I'd go with one of the first two, preferably the second one (the nekkid ladies are a bit over the top). It suits your ride better. They don't make custom Grateful Dead mirrors??

Nope, no custom dead mirrors, I ended up buying the last one. More traditional and will match the grips.

Thanks all.

Yeah, a little more dignified even though I don't play the part very well.

The ladies on the mirrors thing is sorta right.



If you can't get a brunette and a blonde, do the twins motif.
