Those look the same than the originals…. I actually like the originals better that those.
"but thanks for your post..."
I saw a Harley dude riding today with mirrors that appeared identical to the very first ones you posted here, but he had an altogether different concept of what looks hilarious versus cool, to me, lol
He had them cranked pointy end straight up so they were like horns or bat ears, hee hee hee! He had Mr. Serious Cruiser Face going. I think I might have injured myself from laughing
Everybody is different. The totally ironic thing is, the NCX mirrors are the first and only bar mounted mirrors that I actually really like the look of, *and* I can use them without hunching my shoulders or contorting myself too much. Ordinarily I would have leapt at the first opportunity to fling OEM bar mount mirrors, so I am annoyed that I can't park at home with them installed.
Way back in the mists of time, I plagued the board here with my angst regarding this issue, soliciting ideas, and scheming complicated ways to retain them, yet make them quick release or quick adjustable. I came up with a clever method, but unfortunately the final result just didn't quite pan out the way I wanted, so it was back to the drawing board. (ie the LBS closet of unfinished things, lol)
The Double Take mirrors would actually be perfect for my needs, but I find them, so far, too unpalatable looks-wise to go that route unless I'm desperate. I suck for wanting something that looks good over something that works. Sigh. KTM 990 or 1190 mirrors are a wee bit closer to being a compromise for me looks/function, but still I resist.
Arrgh lol
