Looking for ideas on mirrors you guys like or think would look nice here...as you can see, these old ones look awful now that I switched to the Highlander bars. Something a little tighter and lower profile maybe.

Fasteddy should be your first stop. He has some teardrops (Emgo V-Max) that will mount right up to those lollipop stalks for not much money. For more $$$, the Pro-mini's he has listed may be just what you're looking for. http://www.fasteddysports.com/?page_id=3&category=7

I like my Rivco from fast Eddie with the turn signals built In, they cleaned up the front cuz I was able to eliminate the stock pumpkins and I never leave them on anymore cuz they blink on both sides and I can see quite well what's going on behind me . Can't say enough good about them! 
ENJOY!!!!! NEWT!!!!!

Thanks. I had been thinking about looking into them...some of the reviews on ones I looked at seemed as if they were really dim, and there was curiosity regarding whether other motorists even really noticed them there?

I used after market mirrors made for HD with adapters I turned down. Similar adapters are available for sale allowing a normal bolt on mirror to be used.

OK, update. I bought those tapered oval ones made by bike master and I really liked the way they looked on my America. But functionally they are awful. Can't see a thing with them. It is like trying to look through a keyhole. Maybe Wade's Emgo V-Max will be up next. Here's a pic of the keyholes...

I've had those Emgos for several years. For the low money Eddy charges, you really can't go wrong as a replacement for the lollipops.

Tim, I don't think my mirrors are gonna make much difference 'cuz they are almost what you have now, with the exception of being a little less pointy on the end.

I'll let Keith confirm, but I believe the tires are Dunlop.
The chrome trim can be bought at auto stores, it's a small U trim with a stripe of adhesive tape inside.
