What did I do??? I'm always getting blamed for something!!!!

I bought the Kuryakyn magnum mirrors and love them! Look great and are perfect in size for me. Convex style.

I reviewed the pictures you'd posted in the picture folder back in May to see how the Magnum mirrors looked on your bike. The last two pictures however seem to have a more oval shaped mirror. Am I just seeing things? Did you switch mirrors? Is there any vibration shown in the Kuryakyn mirrors?

Thanks

The Kuryakyn Magnum plus mirrors are an oval mirror and I they are perfect for me! At speeds above 80 they do vibrate a little but I can still see clearly out of them. I have only one complaint and that is that I wish I would have paid better attention to the set screw on the side because I lost mine. I dont think I tightened it enough. Seriously though, you can't go wrong with these mirrors. Plenty big and look great.

I see that the Magnum Plus mirrors are available with flat or convex glass. Which do you have? I assume that the convex gives somewhat of a blind spot advantage but haven't seen any in person to confirm.

[cwhite123174]

I have the convex glass. I really like them. Yes, they give a wider, more panoramic type view from the glass. Very much worth the investment.

Must be me then because I thought that in the last two pictures the mirrors looked like the Ellipse mirrors but in the earlier ones it looked like the Magnum mirrors.

In relationship to the position of the OEM mirrors, do the Magnum Plus mirrors sit up higher and out further?

[cwhite123174]

Definitely out further. The convex glass has kind of a panoramic view....a wider viewing area. Seriously, these were definitely worth the money. Better than stock IMO.

The picture of my bike looking at it from the front is the new Magnum Mirrors. The daylight pictures towards the bottom are with the old mirrors.

I'm not a tall guy but when I first got the RSV it bothered me that I had to look down to look in the mirrors but with time I was able to adjust the mirror positioning but still not 100% happy. Did not have that issue with my first two cruiser bikes. My OEM mirrors got pitted when we were caught in a storm in South Dakota at the end of June.

I am 5'9. I am wider than tall... 😆.

These were definitely a step up!

I like the looks of the HD mirrors on the RSV. If it was me I'd just let em ride as they are, just to give folks something to talk about. BTW,, I haven't been around much lately,, but when did you get the Midnight?

[Freebird]

LOL....I don't even remember when I got it. It's been at least a couple of months though. Yea, I've about decided to just leave the Harley mirrors on it and let the jokes begin.

[eusa1]

no worries about me joking you about them:2132:

[Flyinfool]

I still say fill the text with bondo and paint them black.

[Freebird]

and I keep telling that I just CAN'T PAINT CHROME. That's blasphemous I tell you.

[Flyinfool]

Well scuff it up real good with sandpaper first, then it wont look like chrome and the PAINT will stick better.

 

I suppose that I'll have to go find a corner now too......

I have flat mirror Kuryakin with clearance/turn and love them.

Sounds like the sets I have, big rounded rectangles. I've put them on both my 650 Custom and on the RSTC. I didn't have to put them on the trike as Don had beaten me to it! They won't win any beauty contests but I love being able to really see what's behind me.

 

My choice was some large sort of rounded out rectangles aftermarket mirrors off Fleabay for around $30 if I remember correctly. They aren't a huge fashion statement but not fugly either but the main part is I can see clearly now...

You can take the man off the Harley but you can't take the Harley off the man.
