I went the more expensive route. I got the Dietech mirror brackets and picked up a second set of factory mirrors so I don't have to remove my regular mirrors each time.
Dietech brackets were like $70
Factory mirrors (through a friend that works at a parts distributor) - $80 for 2
Total cost $150
However, I stay legal in MA, have full stock viewing on both drivers side and passenger side and the mirrors fold in when I need them to off-road.
You can save the $80 and just remove your factory mirrors from your doors but it takes a few minutes extra to do that.
I wanted the RR relocation brackets but I saw how bad the passenger side viewing angle is. Don't think the new RR mirrors were available last year when I finally chose the Dietech route.

I picked up a set of bicycle mirrors from Canadian Tire (not in the US - sorry) for $4.99 each. They work well, and so far are stable up to 60 mph.

Really? I bought these and boxed them back up within an hour. I could get passed the flimsy plastic, but the mirrors themselves were really poopie.....like fun house mirrors. They do LOOK really cool, as long as your not looking through the mirror.
Glad they work for you.....cheers man.

I like that they hold up w/o any serious vibration at freeway speeds, as well, and they're a pretty good size with a large field of view to see the thousands of motorcycles on the roads around here!

I just picked up a set of the Olympic Mirrors. It was $59 for the set. They vibrate a lot but you can still see if something if behind you. With the doors off do you really need mirrors for use of just to be legal. They get the job done for me.
