Should I, Yes or No?
« on: July 20, 2012, 11:03:41 PM »


I really like my 2012 SERG.
It is a beautiful bike.
In the brochure, first time I saw it in person and every time I look at it I think, those are strange mirrors on that bike.
They are functional, they are definitely different but why did they select round ones?
With all that said, what if I changed to these?

What you think, yes or no?

Chip, those stock mirrors suck, that's all there is to it.  I'd definitely change them out.  I just put these on the SEUC because I thought the stock ones on it were too generic and plain Jane.  They don't come in black, unfortunately, or those would look good on the SERG, too.

The only thing about the tribal ones is there's nothing else tribal on the SERG, is there?  The tribal cut is highlighted on those, so it is going to stick out.  What about the "Buckshot Mirror," part number 92416-08?  It's a straight satin black like your stockers, so would look more like it belonged there and came that way.

Got the Chrome ones on my Orange bike. Very much like the look as do others. Lost a little area but it's not a problem at all. Never did like the look of the stock mirrors.

I agree the round ones suck! I'm not sure this is the right mirror as Brian mentioned. I really like the wide narrow profile mirror shape.

Those would look great, the design really compliments the pain scheme, I say, GO FOR IT

That was one of the first mods I did on my Harley.

I agree with what was already posted, that the "tribal" look on your bike would not be right as there is nothing else "tribal" on the bike, but if that is the "shape" of the mirrors you are looking for, how about these:

These would look really nice Chip......if you could get them repainted in the matte black. :2vrolijk_21:

Chip, I say ditch the round one's that are currently on your mc and don't worry about getting something that work's for seeing clearly behind you cause I have a RED scoot, so I'll always be in front of you.   :P :apple: :pepper: :apple:

Had these installed on delivery.  Liked the idea of being more visible to on-coming traffic and the smoke lens matches the tailights.
