After the mirror relocation brackets installed, YOU WILL SEE ABOUT 75% in the passenger's side mirror (you lost 25% of the visibility)
This is because the mirror is installed on the windshied

Not exactly relocation brackets, but this is what I used for my driver's side (pics below). It is a Harley mirror that I picked up at a dealership for $35 - they don't sell it on the HD website - store purchase only.
In NJ, you only have to have 2 mirrors (including your interior rearview). The short arm works great for the driver's side. If you have to have one on your pass side, the long arm might work - I'm not positive though. Might be worth looking into.
Short arm tapered mirror (black)
I mount it on the top hinge. Fits perfect, and no vibrations at all.
Here's a pic of the long arm - this is the left hand side, but the pass side is the same length.

I went with the Rugged Ridge Relocation Brackets. I got em used off another member for $50 and they haven't disappointed me. Yea I can only see like 25% (I sit kinda forward in the JK... I like seeing everything around my hood) of my passenger side mirror but that just encourages me to check my blind spots.

I will be using my relocation brackets this week end and taking off the door. I will take pics and post them on here. Anybody else doing the same?
