After the mirror relocation brackets installed, YOU WILL SEE ABOUT 75% in the passenger's side mirror (you lost 25% of the visibility)

This is because the mirror is installed on the windshied

Not exactly relocation brackets, but this is what I used for my driver's side (pics below). It is a Harley mirror that I picked up at a dealership for $35 - they don't sell it on the HD website - store purchase only.

In NJ, you only have to have 2 mirrors (including your interior rearview). The short arm works great for the driver's side. If you have to have one on your pass side, the long arm might work - I'm not positive though. Might be worth looking into.

Short arm tapered mirror (black)

I mount it on the top hinge. Fits perfect, and no vibrations at all.

Here's a pic of the long arm - this is the left hand side, but the pass side is the same length.

I went with the Rugged Ridge Relocation Brackets. I got em used off another member for $50 and they haven't disappointed me. Yea I can only see like 25% (I sit kinda forward in the JK... I like seeing everything around my hood) of my passenger side mirror but that just encourages me to check my blind spots.

This model is not legal in Quebec, because the surface of mirror is too small. One of my friend has been stopped by the police a few years ago with his motorcycle mirror.

I never even gave that a thought. Hopefully I don't have any problems with mine.
