OEM mirrors.
So I'm after lower profile mirrors but there is better things to spend that money on (brake rubber replacement). I was thinking about maybe bending the stalks closer to the bars. I hesitate to do that to decent original parts with out knowing for sure. Has anybody tried it and if so some pictures would be great.Tags: None

Not so sure about being "cast", the mirrors have seen were on tubular supports. Try bending it, the tube kinks.

Here’s my bike. I think the OEM mirrors are supposed to be round, and chrome.

This gives an idea of the setup. Long stemmed Napoleaons(convex and rectangular) with extenders.
