Paul Yaffe mirrors

[K9Anniv]

I'm thinking about getting these PYO mirrors for my Anniv K9:
Custom Motorcycles and Parts by Paul Yaffe Originals - Catalog / Double Trouble Mirror & Arm
Does anyone have these mirrors on their bike, or maybe has experience with Paul Yaffe's products to give me some feedback?
Thanks!

Those are very cool. They are a more detailed version (drilled stems & mirrors) of the Rad 2 mirrors i have from ness:2thumbs:

Yeah..I'm thinking the same thing. Wicked Image has cool mirrors at better prices, but I really like these Yaffe's.

I promised myself I wouldn't change the mirrors when I got this K9...you know, keep everything stock with it being an Anniversary bike and all.
But those stock mirrors are looking more and more to me like "big chrome mudflaps" stickin' out up there!
Can't see anything too clearly in them at highway speeds anyway:willy_nilly:...so, we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the feedback!

I like the look of these, would look great with the vision BD levers. I had two sets of arlien ness mirrors and the chrome is worst than BDs.

I bought a set of $250 Paul Yaffe Power Series Mirrors and the chrome went to hell in the first 6 months and they would do nothing for me. I bought a set of the $75 Copies off ebay and they lasted me 5 years. I just replaced them with another set just like them this time I paid $60 for them.

DO NOT BUY THE PAUL YAFFE STUFF... The chrome is junk!!

I bought a set of Power Mirrors also and love them, had on 2 different bikes. About 5 years old with no issues.

Thanks for the heads-up!
My K9 came with the chrome "Vision" levers (ie- holes in them) and these Yaffe mirrors would really match up well.
But..for that kind of money, the chrome had better last a lifetime...right?

Agree totally with Jake! I have a set and the Chrome kind of faded/discolored quickly. And there were a lot of pairs out there a lot cheaper. I bought mine in 03...not sure if the quality has gotten better since then.

Not the first bit

If you look close I got the home made version of Vision levers already installed

I agree its just to much money for them I have looked for the double trouble copies on ebay and havent seen any yet has any body else??

Well..that's disappointing, but thanks everyone for your input.
Guess I'll stay with my stock mirrors for now and keep looking...

I have the wicked image mirrors on mine and they've held up well. Can't see much out of them, but I like them.
