Arrow Aftermarket mirrors pic thread

I would like to start an aftermarket mirrors thread. I want to get aftermarket mirrors and the pics they have on websites to buy them look great but you cant tell what they look like in perspective to the bike.

If you have aftermarket mirrors please post brand, model and pics.

Bonus points for VLX bikes! lol

Bernie, those aren't mirrors, There just shiney slivers. As far how mirrors look on bikes, you just need some imagination. There really isn;t that many different mirrors out there. Plus why are you buying new mirrors, looks-better rear/side vision, ect.

Good luck, I am very broad. The lower the mirror, the more they will need to stick out to the side. The taller they are, that won't be as much an issue. It's def worse when I'm wearing an armor riding jacket. I went through several sets before sticking w/ the ones I posted. I actually had the skeleton mirrors posted above, but didn't like how far up they sat. they are very tall.

I like this idea for a thread. My bike has those ridiculous round chrome Mickey Mouse ears and I have to tuck in my elbow to see behind me. I've been looking for something more tear-drop shaped that will extend about an inch further, and maybe a bit lower. I've been looking at several different mirrors, but seeing them on a bike would be very helpful.
