I have no problem with the look of the mirrors; I think they look fine. Functionally, they work great. They are right out infront of me within my view so i dont have to really move my head to check the mirrors. They do a much better job of showing the view directly behind me than the mirrors on my ducati 900 do. A lot of other sport bikes are the same way where the mirrors only show the rear side views.

To each his own i guess
I guess you must be of slender build because at least half of my ninjas field of vision iin the stock mirrors is obliterated by my arms or torso....timefor a diet!
