I just took my doors off for the first time, all excited I drove down the street and realized I don’t have any side mirror’s oh S**t. That’s all I need another ticket so I came home jumped on here to see what the laws were like and then realized crap I need to get some mirrors. I decided to check on here and see what everyone else was doing for them and found this tread Harley mirrors hum I have two of them sitting in my garage collecting dust. NOT anymore, and my wife gets mad cause I don’t like throwing stuff away. I love this forum it is amazing thank you all who post.

Works ok, the big thing for me is the size. It is a small mirror, so you don't see as much as the regular mirror. Obviously it is not as good as stock.

In AZ, I don't even need a side mirror, I just like to see what's beside me.

You don't realize how much you use your mirrors until they are gone.

Great idea! So does the screw used to hold it in place actually screw in or is it just resting securely in there? What size screw did you use?
