Resurrected mirrors for my Vaquero
Got real bored, remembered I had an old set of pitted chrome mirrors from my 1500 classic. Started sanding, priming and painting. This is what I ended up with. What do you guys think? Should I go back to the ugly Mickey mouse ear mirrors the bike came with?

Looks good to me. However, to each his own, if you like them that's all that matters.

Thanks guys. Trying to get the chrome on the Vaq to a bare minimum.

Ive seen orange custom Harleys with chrome this and that that really looks good, but something about my orange vaquero black and orange looks better to me maybe because the factory did so many black accents already. I hope I still feel the same way in years to come, as I'm changing a lot of it to black |

They look good but they look small.
I like big mirrors so I can keep track behind me. You never know who or what is sneaking up on you.

Yeah she can zip passed me anytime she likes that's for sure.I was crouched down behind the windshield going up a long steep incline with the throttle wide open, she pulled up side of me, looked over, looked back ahead and left me in the dust  But I will still never own a bike you can hear clang bang into gear.
