David,
Here is an option to consider. I use Harley Davidson sportster mirrors on my
60BT7. They plug right into the sidecurtian slots and use the wingnuts from my
sidecurtians. I have great visability and remove them easily for shows. Not
drilling, great comprimise and they look ok for daily driving. About 40$ a
pair.
