    Thanks. I suspect that these are a shorter profile as well. My other ones stand tall a little bit too much for my taste.

    I bet I see better than the cat eye that I have now. If you set your mirrors right it doesn't matter.

    Ha-ha! I was told that I wouldn't be able to see out of my little 4" mirror, either. They was wrong! Everything is in how you set things up. I think your new mirrors will work fine and they look pretty cool, too. Perfect for the style of your bike.

    When in doubt you can always follow this guy's advice. You've got enough engine in that bus to make it work? ;)
