Has anyone had any luck with aftermarket mirrors on their Lightning? i have a set of mirrors just like these on my bike and they are horrible.

Within one minute they will vibrate around and be useless. After a little while the plastic breaks where you tighten the pivot down and then there is zero chance of keeping them angled anywhere near a usable direction.
What is everyone else using?

Aprilia Tuono mirrors look great,are not too expensive and stay where you put them.

Bar end mirrors work pretty well.
My friend installed a pair on his XB12S and it looked pretty cool.

I made mine pretty simple and the mirror is easily replaced from your auot parts store

Bar end mirrors are better (less vibes) than the stock ones.

I picked up a pair of these because I dislike the convex bar end mirrors mine had - low vibe and clear, but too hard to judge how close traffic was.

EMGO UNIVERSAL FIT 10" LONG STEM MOTORCYCLE MIRROR ROUND BLACK 10MM THREAD

More than nicely priced (note tho that the auction is for one - not in pairs. They're all the same - you just rotate and aim the mirror one way or the other). They vibrate thru a portion of the rev range like you'd expect, but they are stiff and light weight and stand up to it so far. I wanted a stock look and much prefered the at a glance positioning...
