Hey guys,
Can anyone recommend some nice looking aftermarket mirrors for the America? I have an 03. The lollipops never bothered me, but since I cracked one, I thought I'd try something cooler. Suggestions?

Emgo make a small rectangle sold by Fast Eddy. Use your stems and their heads. Fast Eddy

I sure do like mine from Fasteddy ! I have the ones with the turn signals built in so I was able to get rid of those ugly stock turn signals and I never leave them on anymore because they light up on both sides . I think I could almost do away with the rears but in today's times and today's traffic ? Me tinks I'll leave em fer now  recommend them highly !! 
ENJOY!!!!! NEWT!!!!!

I swapped my "lollipops for Yamaha rectanguler ones they use on Vstars I think emgo are the same beuatiful rear view no distortion but now I put a set of Triumph teardrops that work as well as the Yamahas did.

I got the emgo V-MAX mirrors from Fast Eddy. Yes they are plastic. I really like them and they are holding up great. I just put them on the stock stems. https://www.fasteddysports.com/products-page/?product_id=47

I agree with good visibility & no distortion with the emgo v-max mirrors, best functioning for the money, like Paul, I now have the triumph teardrops, a little pricey, but they work well.

I've been using the Kuryakyn Chrome Magnum Plus Mirrors for ten years or so. I like the convex glass for a wide view. I put a set on the Triumph Adventurer as well. There is some minor vibration at certain RPM but not too bad.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

I'm very pleased with my emgo V-MAX mirrors. Also, they are not too pricey.

Is "emgo" a brand name or does it stand for something else?

Emgo is a brand, use any that fit you fancy but most will require an adapter.
