I ordered mine on Tuesday and got them today! How's that for service. I couldnt be happier with them. I mean, to get excited about mirrors is kind of an odd thing, but these are worth getting excited for.(for mirrors) I can't ride with them yet (just got an inch more of snow and the salt is heavy on the roads, but they seem great. I installed them in all of about one minute, thats including taking the old ones off, lol. The adjustability of these is unreal. You can lock them into any frickin position imaginable. I was a little worried about clearance of the ball joint by the front master cylinder, but it fits like a glove. (a good glove, not the O.J. Simpson "does not fit' glove). From photos, I wasnt a huge fan of their look, but opted for form over function, but actually they look really nice (IMHO), and thats a bonus I wasnt really banking on. I cant wait to put them to road test. Thanks for suggesting these. :good:

On a side note and an added bonus this company is owned by the man, the myth, the legend Ned Suesse.
53rd place Dakar finisher and only US competitor to finish in the motorcycle class. Total race time: 58:52:00, way to go Ned!!!

How bad do they vibrate, or do they vibrate at all tooling down the highway at 65-70?

I tried several mirrors with long "stalks" and all of them vibrate horribly, rendering them unusable. I'm about ready to get some protaper atv mid bars just to get them up a bit higher if that would even help.
