Whatever mirrors Harley makes is gonna be top-shelf quality, I'm sure of that.

Gotcha, Horvath. Nuthin worse than crappy repops! Post up some pics when you get the HD mirrors mounted.

Will do.

Fill me in on your experience.

Thanks.

Alan.. I had the MALTESE CROSS MIRRORS and one bolt on that rat truck I built.. I didn't have it long enough to say.. But I really was satisfied with them.. I really think they would have been fine..And would use custom motor cycle mirrors again.. The down side was you can't see to good with them.. But it made it legal, And looked very cool..


These are the ones I had..

I can see how they wouldn't give you much in the way of viewing, but they really *are* cool looking!

If they mount securely and hold firm, I like the idea of some of the Harley Davidson mirrors ... but they are designed to mount through a hole on the brake/clutch handles and it looks like they aren't threaded all the way. Don't you need to apply some kind of a bushing to make up for the lack of thickness when mounting on a truck/car body?

The ones I used, Was threaded.. I mounted them on the top of my door frame.. The door frame was 1''x 2'' tubing.. I drilled a hole through the tubing and ran the bolt from the inside.. You can put any length bolt you need to.. On the ones I used.. Some are different...

You can also look in a street rod mag like Street Rodder. Hundreds more to choose from and they are usually mounted like regular car mirrors. You also can put a dab of thread lock on them and they don't loosen up.

Thanks for your help, guys. I'll be posting pics on what I wind up installing.

Rich (Sun Specs) is only about a half hour from me. He turns out some killer stuff.

You can always make a piece (Billet) that you can Tig to the end of the arm, Then install two studs and then it won't move.. Just Tig it on, Polish it up, Bolt it on.. then go..Look cool and won't move..

I love the look of the mirrors on my coupe, but I can't see diddly out of them. Now if I could steal Alan's idea of the cameras, mount them somewhere where they don't take away from the old look, pop the screen out with some Velcro, I'd be set. Alan, keep us posted on the cameras, please? I was cruising up 99 the other day, had to make a quicky lane change that didn't happen real quickly, made me quite nervous. Thankfully, no cars were close by. Dan

If you're looking for great quality, look at the peep mirrors from LeBarron Bonney. Look at their part number CNX-18414-LR. This is a pair of peep mirrors at $72.50 per pair. Here's the link:PEEPS
