Dave,
I mounted these at the same time I put on the tall, round,
polished risers from Brent, and speedy bars, on my 03 TBA.
I think they look great(see pics in my gallery). Let me
know what you think.
As to questions 2&3, visability of my arms is excellent! You
only get effective use of about 2/3's of each(you should
always turn your head and look, before changing lanes
anyway). But, I love the look.
Charlie

On the stock bars, all I could see was my arms and had to dip them to see. Now that I have buckhorns, they are perfect.

I'll second Uncle Charlie -- the mirrors look fantastic but they dont' see so well without some contorting. That's ok, though, I always look over my shoulder anyway.  --Jaeger

I've got them. When I first installed them I did not like them at all. However now that they are adjusted to my liking, I prefer them over the stock round ones. I have them both adjusted to see as far back as possible, and they work great.

Got raddi mirrors from JP cycles and there the same mirrors as the ones from bellacorse.I love the looks but it does has less visability,but you can still see plenty of the road.The trick is,because they are smaller,that when you adjust them you have to get it "just" right.It took a"little" while but when I got it to were I needed it they work just fine.Hope this helps.

I have them on stock TBA bars and I'm happy with them. Mine are turned outward just enough to see past my arms, and I think visibility is fine. I no longer have my stock mirrors so I can't measure them for comparison, but if I remember right the diameter of the stock mirrors is close to the width of these mirrors, but these are shorter, so with less flat glass area there is less visibility, but there is enough. I figure the only thing mirrors are good for anyway is so that if I see something in them I don't have to bother turning my head.
