Mirrors

[Hootie]

I got an 2021 Tri Glide Ultra. I am not having any luck on mirrors to be able to see beside me in relation to the trike finders and road and the road lines, (ie.. yellow and white lines), got clear views on what's behind me, any suggestions on this, was thinking might try putting the mirrors from the street glide on the outer fairing, where the street glide has them, but not sure that would work. I have removed the short stems on mirrors and installed longer stems with different mirrors and no joy. Anybody got a setup that they can see the trikes fenders and road by chance. Thank you for your time, ride safe,

Hootie

I just keep my front tire just to the left of the crown in the road, Or on occasion to the right....No need to see the lines...:Shrug:..

+1 on Rhino's post!

Add some small round convex mirrors... that might help you.

I stay realitively centered

I have never seen this as an issue unless going around curbs and fuel Islands. On the highway keeping lane friendly has never been an Issue. But that is just me after driving commercial Motor vehicles over 35 years and working the road roads are roads... just sayin. There are mirrors with both images built in them Harley sells them actually have considered trying them just have not got around to it yet. Good luck on your search. Fred

I got a pair of the Kuryakyn mirror stem extenders and now I don't have to stare at my shoulders anymore.

The OP says he hasn't any problems seeing behind him....It seems its the Peripheral vision he is having problems with..:Shrug:....

I ran mirror extensions for a year or so and just removed them. Believe it or not they created a little additional wind in my face because they pushed my mirrors up just above the line of the fairing. My buddy runs the HD brand mirror extensions that raise them up and pushes them out a couple inches. He claims no additional wind plus much better rear vision. I may give a set of those a try.

Thanks for the info, sorry have not gotten back, drive a school bus for town, been driving alot, trips etc.. coming up on end of school year, and working on a tractor. Driving trucks, buses, or towing aircraft, like to know where I am at in relation to what I am doing. Cage drivers are not getting any better. Cannot stay in same line all the time due to the popularity of pot holes the road crews evidently like and are not fixing, probably a money thing these days, dead animals. Running the tail of the dragon, and similar roads, I got taught to use the mirrors 40 years ago and been habit ever since. It is not a show stopper by any means. I just do not like surprises if I can avoid them. Again thanks for the feedback.

I put these 2" convex mirrors on. They work great and are adjustable.

HD sells exact duplicates that are 2 inches longer. Problem solved.

These are the ones that came on my 18 trike and I have mixed emotions. They’re HD brand the smaller window isn’t all that much wider than the semi convex bigger mirror. I’m gonna stay with them for a while once I change my bars out to 2+2 sweepers and see if that makes them more worthy.
