Hi Chas,
I found the best thing was to install a Big Healey mirror. It fits and it
a much better looking mirror. The other thing I recommend is to go to the
Harley shop and pick up a couple of motorcycle mirrors. Theses fit into
the windscreen rear mount and look very nice. They are even tinted to
remove that wonderful 4 x 4's glare behind your bumperettes at 2 feet
away. They are a very stable mount and don't vibrate at all. Much better
then a fender mount and you don't have to drill holes.
