Lightbulb No Door Mirrors - Looking for Recommendations

Looking for recommendations for mirrors when I have my doors off. Only real requirement is I am looking for is that will stay in place at highways speeds 65-75, seems to be alot of them people complain they fold when driving past 45.

I've tried a few mirrors and brackets, the only ones I'll recommend are American Outlaw.

They're expensive, for good reason : They don't fold at speed ; they don't shake and vibrate ; they're easy to fit and remove. I'd suggest you don't waste your money of cheap fixes, that don't work.

Default Harley Mirrors

Get some factory Harley Davidson mirrors. They are the perfect length for the door pin hole. I bent mine to a 90 degree angle so I could see around the passenger side of the dash. Works great, No flutter, CHEAP!! and the store in the center console.

I use the Harley Davidson bike mirrors all year round they don't move ...... All I needed was a few extra washers to fill the gap in the arm where it's not threaded ..... Then a nut nice and tight at the bottom(some silicone to fill the space) Mind you I use the rugged ridge relocation brackets so I can keep the mirrors on all year round and not have to keep removing the mirrors from the door hinge

Rugged Ridge round mirrors , the only con is that they whistle on the freeway and are pita to adjust.

Die-tech Offroad brackets. Nothing more to say, they're the best solution.

Yup. I love mine. I ran a bead of silicon around the rubber seal on the outside of the mirror to kill the whistle. And I didn't find Them too difficult to adjust. It's a pretty quick release and install. Steady at highway speeds. But I hear they are useless on the passenger side. I don't use one, over there.

I run the same, with or without doors. I dont notice a whistle. I had to add a fishbowl mirror on the passenger side.
