I just got my Harley mirrors today. Boy, they sure have gone up........ 38 bucks each And I only goy an acorn nut and lock washer. I put them on today. So far so good.

 

Doors off, mirrors are on. So far, they have not moved, they don't vibrate, they give me visibility, and look like they were made for my Jeep. I have not gotten up to interstate speed, but I have gotten up to around 50-55mph.

Here are the pics.





From the drivers seat.

 

Those actually look pretty good. I'd be curious as to how they work at around 65-75mph. I was thinking about these but going back and forth. I eventually want to get some tube doors (wife won't let me go completely doorless with the kids, can't blame her...). Don't have the cash for the doors yet and probably won't for a while. Therefore, I don't know if I should just get the mirror relocation bracket or the Harley mirrors as a stop gap for now...

Decisions, decisions...

Let us know what you think at higher speeds.

Regards,

Pete

 

The come with a star lock washer and I didn't tighen it completely, just snug, and while I can move it with my hand, it takes effort. The mirror itself doesn't move or vibrate. I will hopefully be able to test it at higher speeds, but rain chances are suppose to move in later today here. Will let you know.

 

Update: I took a ride, work was getting on my nerves, and got on the interstate. Was only able to get up to 70mph, for about 3/4 of a mile, then traffic. Anyway, it is 88 degrees with winds of 16mph, gusting to 26mph, so very windy. My rear rubber floor mats moved more than the mirror. The mirror didn't move. The only time it did move is when I got out and and damn near ran over it, I swiped it with my arm and it moved. Very impressed, it didn't vibrate at that speed, and it didn't move.

A little weird getting all the looks. People will talk to you. Old lady asked if "That your buggy?" "I said yep" She liked it, even the car seats in the back. My boss came and said, "Someone stole your doors".

 

That's too funny.

 

i really like those HD mirrors. i think i will get me one. now i just need winter to end here so i can take the doors off.

 

Hey, I have a 2010 2dr JK. I ordered the RR relocation brackets, but found out that between '08-'10 they changed the mirrors slightly and you need to use shims to fit correctly. When I tried without the shims, there way WAY too much play, and when I used the shims, the mirror didn't fit back in the bracket. I ended up sending them back. Has anyone else run into this problem?

 

yes i did when i installed them as well ... if you cut the shim in half and only use one side it fits like a glove! No rpobelsm for the year i ran them like that.

 

I think I got the same ones. Got mine for $15 at pep boys, bent and painted it. (badly) Used a 3/8 bolt and rubber washers. Doesn't vibrate too bad except on freeway and really windy days.
