Well with the intro of the 48 there's been a replaying of old style becoming new again. So yesterday I was riding the Nightster and was thinking up those under slung mirrors. Thinking... I wonder...

Sorry for junky phone pics...

So here's stock, traditional placement

I think it looks cool. Its different and will take some getting use to when riding. But still have great view behind me and maybe even a better view next to me in the blind spot zone.

What ya think?

I like the look of them below, but as a taller rider for me having them overhead might be more functional for me.

I love the way it looks, but as far as it being functional, they really become useless for me.

I think below you they will offer you an great view of your elbows.

Nope. No elbows. Above the bars yes some elbow but not under.

I like the looks of them better LOW. As long as they are still functional. If it hinders her rear view then I'd put them back up.

meh, i think it is overdone. every nighty out there has done this. i chose to get new, cooler mirrors instead.

there was a guy on my sporty forum that took the stock bars and turned them upside down. made the bike kinda look like a water buffalo or something with the curves of the bars sweeping downward. i thought that looked hella cool! definately not like the totally overdone apehangers everyone was getting.

Could be true.

Guess that would be a problem for a XLForum frequenter... which I am not. YEA for me!
