    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Better Mirrors

My mirrors are driving me crazy. I had the originals, but they were convex round mirrors and only about 3-inch diameter, so I could hardly make out much and had trouble judging distances. Switched to nice big rectangular mirrors, but they vibrated like crazy at most RPMs and so everything was fuzzy. Got heavier mirrors and the anti-vibe mounting nuts, but there is still more fuzziness than I want.

Am I expecting too much? What are the secrets to good mirrors? Any suggestions for replacement brands that have performed well for you? Other tricks and improvements? TIA for the advice...

Have you tried napoleon mirrors? Keith Krause recommeneded them & I second :lol: Also is the bike running right? a tune up & carb synch might clear up the problem.

Terry, love the Thomas Paine link. Truly a man of common sense. They say that the generation that fought in WWII was the greatest of the American generations. Not to steal their thunder but I think that of the Founding Fathers trumps even them.
 
Yeah, she's running smooth (well, technically, not now; got her torn down for winter services). But even after getting the carbs and tuneup done, still couldn't see. Not really the vibes; just crummy replacement mirrors. I could go back to the originals, but like I said they are teeny and convex so hardly much help. I'll check out the Napoleons. Other suggestions anyone?
