Recently replaced the stock "lollipop" mirrors with a Napoleon 10 mm mirror. I took a couple photos which I've tried like heck to post but can't seem to resize for this site. Instead, I started to create my own home page and you can see them there. Talk about doing something the hard way...

I took the pics with one stock and one replacement to really compare the look. The mirrors are cheap. They are slightly convex so they give a more panoramic view of what's behind me. The most surprising thing about these bad boys is that, for some reason, they vibrate less. Actually they don't seem to vibrate at all. I like the look better and I can see better. Not bad for $4 a piece (ebay). What do you think?

Yeah..they do seem to fit with the "rough" character of the bike better. Might have to do that mod for $8

I borrowed my KTM Duke mirrors of my Strom. They fit and look great. They are lower so you do catch some of your arm in the field of vision.
I will try to get a pic.

not endorsing anyone in particular - but you can always do an ebay search for "10 mm mirrors". Just did it and found about another 10 pair - one similar pair for $10.
