I believe they use the mirrors off a HD sportster. There are pics in the "cheap mods everyone should do" thread, but I have no idea which of the 400 pages its on.

They use your mirrors which mount on these. They use your door hinge and one bolt from the hinge bracket. Simple install and shake free

Die-Tech Off-road Mirror Brackets (They're also a sponsor here)

Work great for me also

Are those the Harley mirrors several people have mentioned? If so, how much did they run you? I like that option, both for looks and for not having to remove my factory mirrors or buy a dedicated set of replacements to use the ditech mounts.

They work great. You have the full view from the passenger side. Just like if it was mounted on the door plus they are vibration free and keeps the OEM look...



I run them as well and love it.....

Ditech website shows up to 2010, but it looks like it would fit on my 2011.

I got my Harley mirror for about $30. I went with the mid-size mirror so it's a bit smaller. Works great and doesn't shake...
