What is a handle edge mirror mod? I've changed my mirrors about 4 times but that's about it. I'm intrigued to see what you're up to though!

New to motorcycles and used my own lingo, my bad...
They are called "Bar End Mirrors".

The parts guy and me figured out that the kuryakin iso grips have screws on the end which come apart and can hold nice bar end mirrors/ weights in them.

Something like this but they will be facing down


With these grips, the mod possibilities are end less. You cna use throttle meister and all other bar end goodies..Never tested this before so dont quote me on this !

Bar end mirrors haha I know what you're talking about now! I've never done 'em, I do like the look on some HDs I've seen them on. Take pics while you're putting them together, I'd love to see a write up.

I was all done painting yesterday and the wind blew crap on the fresh plasti dip and I had to redo everything but the best part is, it took less than 20 mins.

Next up, speedo meter..stay tuned

You used plastidip on the side oil cover? That piece gets hot...I used hi-temp BBQ paint on mine.

I ended up just taking my rear fender side covers off after I painted them black. I think it looks better without 'em.
