so took off my mirrors for the drag strip the other day and god i love the look without em. so im actually thinkin about leavin em off for good. cops here dont look for that kinda stuff and i figure i have to look over my shoulders before i make a lane change anyways. there is probably a downside to not having them so feel free to tell. im lookin for constructive critisism only thanks. and yes i was thinkin about bar end mirrors but ive heard they are not much better then having none at all.

I got bar ends and I think they are better than the OEM mirrors..
Personally I wouldn't go w/o any at all, but it's ultimately up to you.

Mirrors...most definitely.

unless you got eyes in the back of your head and a visor on the back of your helmet I'd stick with mirrors

There's a lot of things I use my mirrors for aside from changing lanes or turning.

What about looking three blocks behind you?

Hear sirens but don't see them in front of you?

I like to watch the cars behind me slow to a stop at a light or whatever so I can get out of the way if someone decides they don't like my stock fender.

You can buy better looking mirrors, if that's bugging you.

I'm not 100% sure if they will fit your bars. But as long as your bars are hollow 7/8 then they def. will.

Haven't fallen out yet (knock on wood) and the vibration is less than OEM mirrors.
