DARN  ! Yeah I guess they would look good on Crash.

Looks like all my x-mas money is going into fixing the car anyway

Thanks for the post , I was looking on the Kury site at them yesterday. It looks like the have a bit better range than the stock ones on my FLHX and the turn signal is a plus.

I liked these when seeing them too Nidan.  Boring a hole in the inner fairing is a hard thing to do though.  Can't make that leap; at least not yet.  Think I'm actually going to have to see a set in person that are installed on a bike.

Also not sure I like the chrome mounted on the inner as well as I'd like a paint matched part on the inner.  Damn, I think I'm picky...

Those do look great! Can you see the LEDs flash in your peripheral vision in the sun light?
 Might have to add theses to my Xmas wish list...

That's what makes all our bikes so great.......the little differences w/in the overall approach to personalization (is that a word?)......and you don't have the mkt. cornered on being 'picky'.  har!  spyder

Nope...no holes in my inner fairing...nada, nope, nyet, no way Jose, etc...not ever, and for no reason.

I have to agree.  Not that brave to do in the 1st place and don't want any more possible problems down the road.

So we can definitely put you down as a "no".

I'm right there with you. When the '06 CUSE's came out and I saw the leather dashboard pad I was really wanting one until I found out that holes had to be drilled to put it on. Needless to say it got removed from the wishlist fast.

Sometimes you don't have a choice.  For example, I chipped the paint around the air temp gage that would be covered perfectly with the new chrome radio bezel, BUT, the new chrome radio bezel doesn't look good by itself until you add the leather dash pad.  I figured adding those two items, drilling holes and all, was better than re-painting the inner fairing!  Cheaper too.  So when it came to the mirrors I said WTF.  They look damn good, are functional enough for me (once I pass you now its your turn to look at me! ) and one thing is for sure, ain't nothin' around that looks like it!

I agree if it has to be done do it. I didn't feel comfortable drilling it myself and didn't want to chance somebody else letting a drill slip. It wasn't looks that steered me away at all.

Been running the Kuryakyn blind spot mirrors for about a month now and something about them kept bothering me.  They work fine but something was missing.  Just for kicks and giggles, I bought the HD fairing mount mirrors and swapped them out.  Wow, what a difference!  The HD mirrors have convex glass and provide a greater field of view than the Kuryakyns.  Also, they don't vibrate as much because the ball mounting surface is greater on the HD version while the Kuryakyns use the same ball mount as their handlebar mounted models.  Bottom line:  I am returning the Kuryakyn mirrors.

Attached photos of the install.  Am debating whether I want to install the Kuryakyn chrome covers, but with the black inner fairing, I think they look great as it.  The flat black on the mirrors blends with the dash pad.  Still thinking...
