    Replacement mirrors

    So as I was riding I noticed that my left mirror was causing a rattle over about 4k RPMs. if I held the frame around the glass the rattle stopped. So I removed the mirror and sprayed some WD-40 on the ball on the back of the mirror and when I went to wiggle it the metal housing tore.
    At this point I guess I'm looking for some new mirrors on a budget.
    Anyone have any good stories or feedback on changing the mirrors out?
    I saw these two options which are about the budget I have.

        If you are swapping out the mirrors. You may want to go for some with a longer arm length. I found the stock mirrors a little short, and could not see directly behind me. I swapped them out for ones with longer arms and problem solved. Bar end mirrors have great visibilty, if you like the look.

          I found these that look ok for about $30 delivered for the pair. Not sure if I should spend the extra $2 for black instead of chrome.

            I actually replaced the mirrors on my bike. I used some mirrors off of a Buell. They have a long arm on them so they have a great view. They don't completely get rid of any vibrations, but they don't show up until around 6,000-6,500 rpm at highway speeds.

              Think those will show you a lot of shoulder IMO.
