Mirror mirror on the wall who has the fairest motorcycle mirror of them all? Check out these custom motorcycle mirrors.
Do you want your cruiser to stand out? Get a bit of a facelift? Mirrors can add style in a flash. The most difficult task you'll face is choosing from the wide selection on the market and especially the fabulous selection online.
There's just a couple of things you need to remember. Custom mirrors generally don't provide as big of view area as your standard mirrors and the arms themselves are often not the same length as the originals. And then there is the choice between flat glass and convex glass.
Flat Glass gives a much truer portrayal of the distance the objects behind while the convex mirrors show more but the images are smaller and the distance is not as accurate.
However convex is popular because you get a wider view you don't have to turn your head. Most riders prefer the convex but if you are a new rider you need to remember "objects may be closer than they appear," just like with your car.
So what are some of your choices?
