Todd. Dude you are cooler than the other side of the pillow. I dig your how-to vids. Looking forward to getting my Sportster and customizing the crap outta it. Keep up the great work. Subbed!

Todd is great. Gonna do a mirror change. Although my stock ones are ok, I want to change the look a bit. Have a similar 04 sporty.

[@MrWhitelightning73]

Thanks for posting.....my mirrors are flopping around. This helps

[@sineadnugent8606]

hi love the video, ive a 95 roadking and each time I ride it I have to fold my mirrors completely inwards because they are wider then the bars and levers and i have a narrow side entrance to my house and they catch the walls if I dont. So im wandering if these mirrors are narrower then the bars and levers? hope you understand my explanation.

Better than the newer XL's with the ball clamp signals. Round mirrors produce less buffering in the wind. Aerodynamics. Also tensioners on the back of the mirror hold position of the mirror. CX XL's need long stems or you'll have a good view of your elbow.

Do you guys like the 883 over the 1200 evo?
