Yeah - and you could put your weather protection kit back on too!

I can't stand the LC mirrors.  Had auxiliary GS or RS mirrors on the old '05 model when I got it, and I see why.  Do you have any kind of barback on your LC?  With the IliumWorks barbacks, my hands are right in the middle of the fairing mirrors.  I desperately need aux mirrors on this one too.  I tried the little stick ons, and they are so convex that I see my own movements in them, and it's distracting.

I would complain to IliumWorks for not doing their development work properly. With everything in its proper place they are as good as it gets

I agree with RTman.

I have the stock bars on my  RT LC and the stock mirrors are amongst the best I've had on any bike. And I've had a very wide range of different makes and models over the years.

But that doesn't remove the need for an actual look behind you when pulling out to overtake or turn etc.

The mirror size and placement on the Goldwing is the best I've ever seen.  When I ride my brother's, I'm amazed at how well I can see.

Good man, thought maybe we'd be starting another engine bars discussion!
