style of mirrors
I kinda like the shape and style of these mirrors compared to stock:

I have those mirrors on my bike.
I wouldn't buy them again, for these reasons. The bases on them were freaking huge, stuck off the raised mirror "bump" on my f4i by almost an inch on both sides, and the base is encased in a rubber boot that deforms horribly and looks stupid when the mirrors are in their normal position. They are also very buzzy, they vibrate so much going down the road that you can hardly see anything in them, you can see vaguely but no details, such as, 'is that car riding my butt a cop?' , gotta look over your shoulder to find out for sure.
I did fix some of these problems, I took the bases off my stock mirrors and shaved down the ends of the new ones to fit into them, that fixed the hideous and huge base problem. I also rolled some rubber grommets up the shaft to sit where the pivot is on the base of the mirrors to lessen their road bounce, helped a tiny bit. Regardless, I'd try a different mirror if I was you, these are junk, I'll be replacing mine over the winter.
