I don't want to use the empty hinge for a mirror since I have the Bestop soft doors and that means I'd lose the mirrors everytime I put the soft door on. I have the Lange II mirror since it uses its own bracket that attaches to the A pillar (windshield frame). It whistles and it vibrates but it works.

I like these right here. The mounting upside down to see where your rear tire is at would be great.

I also use the HD part #91910-90A as others have mentioned.

20 dollars, mirror, done.

Do you guys out there running the Harley Davidson mirrors have any issues wiht them vibrating or folding in at freeway speeds?

On my old YJ I had some mirrors that mounted on the A pillar and had a single vertical bolt through the bracket and at freeway speed they would vibrate so bad you couldn't see anything and then fold in slowly as you approached 70. They met the requirement to have mirrors but were absolutely useless above 30 mph.

These Harley mirrors look like they might pivot the same as the ones I had. Do you have to modify them at all or do they come with everything you need to drop them in and tighten them down?

Not at all. The Harley mirrors are nice and steady even at highway speeds. They come with everything you'll need at a good price. I had the same vibration issue in my old YJ with those windshield mounted mirrors...complete crap.

Get the Harley mirror...you won't be disappointed.
