Default Pig Spotters

The mirrors I had on my bike were losing their colors and had become scratched, so I looked into other mirrors. I recently purchased Pig Spotters. I didn't know if I liked them when they arrived in the mail, (8/31/2011), but after installing them and riding for a while I like them aesthetically. I just wanted to get others opinions, either way. They retail for $110 but I got them for $64 shipped. So that is another reason I purchased and like them. I have not wired up the turn signals yet, don't know if i am going to.











THEY WORK FOR SPOTTING PIGS!!!!

I think they look good.

Where did you get them?

how is visibility of the mirrors compared to stock ones?

I guess you could probably look under your arms with them in tight like that

I was thinking about it while back before I got my mirror. But I don't really like the looks of it. Sorry

The visibility is pretty bad. I can still see my blind spots well, but anything after that and it looks like a bunch of LED lights. I mounted them in the stock "ant feeler" holes. I did have to drill through my upper fairing stay (metal).

Don't be sorry. I don't like them at certain angles, but they are growing on me more. I got 40% off retail. That helps also.

Like I said they look better in some pictures than others.

Can't tell. They don't look bad. I don't hate them. Just not sure I love them.

I'd need to see in person.

It's not my bike so I can't say one way or another. If it was my bike I know what I would do. If you like them keep them, if you don't ditch them. To each their own and blah blah. It's your bike my man, make it how you want it.

That being said I did vote though.

Your MPG just went way up!!!

J/K, I think they look racy. There might be less bug juice to wipe off of them as well.
