Fairing mirrors
Just got my reckless fairing installed and seen these HD fairing mirrors. Thoughts if these will fit?

Absolutely the most worthless mirrors in the history of mirrors. I had a genuine Harley fairing on my '07 Nomad and put those mirrors (minus the turn signals) on my fairing. They vibrated so much, I couldn't see ANYTHING. Also, they would redirect the wind right into my face. Once I removed them and put handlebar mounted mirrors back on, I could see everything (moving or sitting still) and the fairing actually did it's job by keeping the wind out of my eyes. They're also very cheesy looking. They look good in the pictures, but very cheap in person. Finally, they're in 3 pieces. You can't get them to line up just right without a 1/4"-1/2" gap between the pieces. You couldn't GIVE them to me. Total crap.

Nice purchase with the Reckless Fairing. You will Like it. You can even cut your own windshields with Plexiglass. The Aerodynamics on them is crazy. Went thru pouring rain and cars on the freeway were pulling over, took a while to figure out the air at 60mph was going over my head. Allowing me to see, and the cars windshield wipers could not go fast enough for them to see.
Mirrors, Nope they don't work. I tried lots of things with mine.

Perfect thank you. I'll pass on them then, hate how pics look one way and totally different in person.
Side note since you mentioned wind issues I keep getting smacked in the face from the strings on my hoodies, are the wind deflectors for the rm fairing worth it you think? I heard years ago the adjustable where cheap not sure if they changed. |

I've got those minus the turn signals on my Premeux fairing, and everything I have to say about them is totally opposite as to monkeyman's comments. The fit and finish is great, they are 3 pieces, but the fit is so good, it looks one piece. The mirrors have zero vibration, at an idle, accelerating, or cruising down the interstate. As far as changing the wind, I can tell no difference between them and the bar mounted mirrors. I really do like mine, but when I bought mine, I had to pre-order them, they hadn't started manufacturing them yet, and there wasn't an option for the turn signals.

I forget till I'm cruising down the highway then it's a fight with them to tuck them in.
