Someone in the IBMWR markeet place is advertising them for sale. $100. I trying to decide if I should use them or try those emgo replacement mirrors.
 
George, are these available in one set only? They look pretty good and if they work why not?
 
If fritz would have wanted you to see what is back there they would have been on it from the factory.

Billet aluminum is much to bling bling for even a HD.

I I had to have them I would get thme powdercoated satin black

Sorry, you asked.
 
There are more than one set .Sounds like he is making them an offering for sale. He also said you would put a black finish on them.

The mirrors already have a tendency to vibrate, and with them out there like that, I'd be concerned of their stressing, and possibly breaking, the plastic mounts, besides worse vibration.
 
I would say, try it, if it works, then great. If not, well then you are out $100. Maybe you can get some sort of trial period from the seller/maker.
I don't think there is enough weight to the mirrors to cause extra stress, but they may be a little susceptible to vibrations due to the extension.
 
for the price of those extensions you could score a pair of these

round bar ends vs Napoleans

I had these round bar-ends on my /6 for a few years. They look cool, but are quite small and don't give a great look at whats behind and to the side (isn't that what they are for?). I ditched them for a pair of Napoleans a few weeks ago on my /6 with low bars. Besides looking very cool, the Napoleans give me an absolutely panoramic view. I feel much safer with them.
