I'm interested in changing out the stock mirrors and going with Kuryakyn Magnums. Just wanted some input from anyone that had them or another style of Kuryakyn. I'm concerned about the vibration distorting them. I've been reading reviews at Custom Cruiser and they are very mixed. Some say they are no different then stock and others say they vibrate so bad they are useless at highway speeds. Of course I'm sure it depends on the bike too but does anyone have any experience with them.

I have custom mirrors on my scoot without any vibration . However my bars are rubber mounted and that will certainly make a difference .
Kind regards, Wizzard

in my case and alot of cases you are going to get vibration with aftermarket mirrors. i thought it was really going to bother me but you get used to it. it makes me turn my head every time i change lanes anyway. of course i only really get vibration at highway speeds. sometimes for looks you gotta sacrifice other stuff.

My mirrors are rock solid now. I always turn my head to change lanes anyway, I just like to keep on eye on what's behind me. My only concern is that some reviews say their mirrors are basically useless other than for looks. Looks are important, but it don't over ride safety. Can you still easily make out traffic behind you?

with my jcwhitney mirrors, traffic is blurry behind me at high speeds. but those are my mirrors, not neccessarily anyone elses.
