Help me choose new mirrors.
First off, I have the golf club mirrors and they are junk on a bike that rattles. One flew off the other night and I turned around to see it break into pieces so I kept on motoring. 
Do the Ness mirrors tolerate the vibrations? If so, which of these should I get? Rad II Teardrops or Mini-Ovals?

i vote for the Rad II.
they might not be as functional as others, but i dont trust mirrors.
i always look over my shoulder, so function is a problem.
cheers

I like them too. They are the only mirrors that resemble the golf club type mirrors. Like Crackers, I usually look over my shoulder anyways, they will be mainly for looks/some function.
My cousin has the Mini's on his Fatboy and they look great, just don't know if I want the same set. I also like the Rad's because they curve more and should match the Hellbent Pipes when they come in.
Hmmm... Need more votes.

The RadII's are cool looking, but I still want some function to go with the smooth form of the ovals.

I voted "ovals" but ultimately the decision is your's, you have to live with them.

I like these from the MoCo, $13.50 a piece, crappy plastic mirror but ya can't see anything anyway, and they look cool. Simple cool as in "I am so cool I don't need no fancy mirrors".

I voted for the Rad II's because I think they look really cool, but honestly I'm not sure they'd fit the look of a XL standard. Maybe the oval would be the way to go for you. .02
