SV Mirrors - Should I get the Round or Rectangle????????

I'm going to put the SV mirrors on my GS.  I think the round ones look cool but maybe the rectangle ones will give me a better view.

What do people think?

Opinoins are welcomed:-))

Personally, I like the rectangle ones the best. They look better, I think.

The round ones scream "SCOOTER"  :icon_razz:

I just picked up a set of "Mickey Mouse" SV mirrors (big, round and black) for my naked conversion.  I think they look fine.

Rectangle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

They have a better field of view than the stock GS mirrors...  The Mickey Mouse Ears are hard to see through.  And they look cool:

Definitely the rectangle ones. i think they look much better. i was so happy with mine after i put them on. Mine don't vibrate at all, while my stock ones were almost impossible to see in because they buzzed so much. They function much better, and look so much better too. You win all around.

Rectangle, but the chome on the front of them looks cheap.

My bike is pretty much all black and blue with little chrome/silver.  I like the looks of black mirrors, so I'm not particularly fond of the rectangles.  It does seem like they are more functional though.

Round ones look better...no doubt about it.

Classic look, better view.

I wanted to get the rectangular, but I ended up finding a pair of round ones on ebay for $5. They look good and they're a huge improvement over the mismatched aftermarket ones the previous owner had installed. My recommendation is get whichever one you can find cheaply. Either way it's better than stock.

Hey,

Thanks for all the input.  I'm going to go with the rectangle.  Although the rounds look really cool, I'll let function override looks.
