I'm still trying to decide on some aftermarket mirrors.....can't seem to find any I like. Don't like all the teardrop/blade looking stuff that every HD guy has on his bike.

Question is: in looking at some Kury Trident mirrors you can get either flat glass or convex. Is there a benefit to having convex? Are they supposed to cover your blindspots?

Sorry, no offense intended lol. I'm just saying I want something other than all those same mirror styles I see everywhere. You know what I mean?

Usually the convex would have a wider view but at the cost of some distortion. You have to get used to it. Personally I dont like them cause although you can see more around you it is harder to gauge distance.

I resemble that comment Actually, when I put my mirrors on and changed out the headlight I thought to myself "dammit, now it looks like all the other bikes on the road. Still is sweet though..."

After all these mods I see, I may end up with the only truly unique Stryker, a stock one. HaHa

 

[11Stryker]

Yep, unique just like all the remaining unsold yet at the dealers

Yep, I think at the cost of distance distortion, the convex are not good. I passed a bike yesterday that had mini-mirrors that covered the blind spots. They looked half-good and were probably worth their weight in gold. But I just look over my shoulder.

I hear you man. I use the bigger size blind-spot mirrors on my truck and I totally trust them. When I'm on my bike, I'm doing a head check....period.

I heard aftermarket mirrors shake like **** the glass just isnt as sturdy as stock....just what I have heard never seen any.

 

[11Stryker]

Maybe shake on Hogs, but dont shake on my Stryker nor have I had any aftermarket mirror problems.

My buddy with a vmax said that

Depends on the quality of what you buy

 

[strykeralan]
