Default Mirrors - looking for a change

Hiya folks. I'm looking for any suggestions for replacing the stock mirrors on my '87. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm looking for ones that will allow me to actually see behind me and that look good.

Hey.. My 5c...

If memory serves me, the 87.88's havegot a short arm...

How about some later model ones ( 90 onwards ) They'll still look stock and should allow you to see more.

Hope that helps...

You could fit the later ones with the slightly longer arm - I don't think they are that much better. There's a guy in England who makes extensions that add about 25mm each side.Look good.

I'm not sure that the later models fit the '87 Hurricane. I'd be willing to try that, though. I think I saw someone's 87 with newer mirrors on it and they just blocked off the other holes. Can't remember who's bike it was though.
