Default Thoughts On Mirrors

Hey all,

I'm thinking about replacing my mirrors. I have a pair that have integrated turn signals, but the mirrors themselves are rubbish. So I wanted something stylish.

I'm open to bar ends, stock, or something similar. I've never tried pig spotters, but they don't look like they'd be very functional. Course, mine aren't now, so...

1) Which mirrors do you think look best?
2) Which mirrors seem the most functional?

Any pics are appreciated.

I run the stock mirrors and they aren't the best looking but to me they seem very functional and sturdy compared to the aftermarket mirrors I've experienced.

My bike came with the mirror extenders and I love it, I've never had a problem except for when you have the ******** behind you who have HID in the stock housing and reflectors, then I point my mirrors down. Mainly it's my bike buddies and they apologize after, but damn that pisses me off! hahaha

These are what I have.

The pivot point for the mirrors is no good; it bends back at 45mph+. I've tried to glue it down, but between bumping them and riding they're starting to crack.

I've had pig spotters and I can tell you they suck for functionality. They looked good but that was about it. Stock is best for now. I was thinking about trying out the roaring toys mirrors for the custom look and they look like they have a lot of adjustability to them. Only thing I can see from pics of them is that the mirror itself may be quite a bit smaller than stock.
