you should consider the bar-end mirrors. the stockers shake too much to be effective, at least for my Monster's that's been the case.
+1. You don't need to know the year/submodel/driver's hair color with motorcycle mirrors, just need to know if there is, in fact, a car there, and if it has its blue lights on.

I still want to replace those mirrors. I had them dialed in about half way through but a slight bump and they are worthless again. If anyone has some stock 695 mirrors that would fit an 08 model I'd be happy to buy them off you.
Thanks.

It does help to know if the drivers around have crack pipes in their hands,
or even worse, if they are texting

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Did I tell y'all a witnessed a dude on an HD bagger field a call on his cell while riding? He almost killed himself when he tried to get it back in its hip holster.
Back to the lecture at hand: Yeah, bar end mirrors work surprisingly well.
