Hey Guys - I wanted to make you aware of the new Universal Mirror Adapters we're doing. This adapter kit allows for the installation of Harley mirrors on our bikes. While this isn't a new product to the market in general, I believe we've done a couple things to improve upon current designs. Our adapters are made of stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. It also includes stainless hardware to replace the often included zinc plated hardware you see with many mirrors out there. And the biggest improvement, as far as I'm concerned, is the groove in the piece that accommodates an o-ring. This o-ring has a dual purpose. It helps prevent moisture from collecting in the control housing and, most importantly, it helps reduce the vibrations that seem to plague many of the mirrors out there.  MORE INFO HERE Let me know what you think. -brent

Figures. I just sold my Kuryakyn mirrors. These look really nice and I bet that o-ring makes a big difference. I'll definitely pick some up if I go back to aftermarket mirrors.

I can too, in fact I placed my order this morning so soon I should see them in my mail box and shortly after that I'll see them on my bike.

Tim, it would be really good if you could post some pics when you get your mirrors sorted.

Looks nice, but more than I paid for my swap-meet Kuryakyn mirrors.
Can anyone vouch they eliminate the vibration? Mine are fine till about 50 mph. I can still see cars but they are buzzy at that point. If they make the mirrors clear at highway speeds, I'd pop for a pair. Nice touch with the factory style o-rings, can't blame you on the pricing.

Awesome. I like my Yamaha mirros, but there are some other mirrors that I have thought about getting that I like better made for U.S. bikes.

How clear are images in your mirrors over 50 mph?

I like mine alot more than the sleeve and washer ghetto rig I was using. They do cut down on vibration, but I have very small mirrors so they still buzz at 70+. Bigger ones or stock probably wouldnt have any problems
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
