Iron 883 Inverted Mirrors!!

Wow!! What a difference! I can see behind me now. Here in Louisiana, we just had a cool snap. It was in the mid 50's this morning so I decided to ride my Iron to work. I wore my new jacket with the armor, etc for the first time. I couldn't see past my shoulders in my rear-views. Even when I dipped them down, it was hard. I decided to invert them like I'd read other people did and WOW! It's great. It's also a piece of cake to do. Took me about 5 minutes total. HD ought to do this with their mirrors on the Iron 883 from the factory.

Yep, I have mine inverted too.. wouldn't have it any other way. I can't stand them standing up high on my bars.. and besides having to look down, I think I can see better too.

ride safe..
