    The mirror on the Hog is as much use as a cup of tea in the rain, all I can see in it is my arm ;D
    I need a pair of traditional oblong mirrors with a decent length stem. The internet isn't much use as I need to see them and the shops I have been to don't have much of a selection any suggestions ? Rod

    In the words of the prophets Rod - Tough!

    Joys of having a Harley! Vibrations! Especially a sporty as their engines aren't rubber mounted like the 1340's are. Maybe with your bike already being customised the mirror was chosen for looks not usefulness. My left hand mirror snapped off in the pyrenees a while ago and I never replaced it.

    I use a standard right hand mirror and its fine even holding 90mph. I'm very surprised Burnout can't help?

    btw Dock Gate 20 is pants!

    Hein Gericke may do some better ones for cruisers. If they vibrate too much, you can stick a wheel balancing weight on to reduce it.
