Apus mirror pictures

AKvrod,
No pictures yet. I've been wanting to put them on my bike since I first saw them. It's in the shop now being fixed from my accident but those mirrors will be the first new addition. BUT....I spoke to Scott at Eurocomponents and he told me that when they started carrying them he sold a set to a VROD owner who had to return them. Scott said the guy was unable to mount the R/S mirror due to clearance problems!!?? Not quite sure what the problem was. Most like has to do with the sqaure base on the mirrors. Anyway, Scott has not tested this to validate the info from this owner AND he's been advising VROD owners that they don't fit so I doubt you'll get any answers to your question. I posted a similiar question on the VTwin forum with no response. I'm going to order the mirrors and see exactly what the problem is. If it's the need for an adapter I think I've found one in Drag Specialities. So.... I'll keep ya posted on what I figure out. It will probably be early Dec though, before I get it done.

Thx for the info Zeeman. Have you seen any other good looking mirrors? I would like something tapered like the Apus mirrors. I was looking at the Alen Ness Alternatives, I think it was called a "Rad II". Seen a few on ebay, but nobody has pics of them on a bike, let alone on a VROD. The search continues.....

I know they aren't "rad" but they look very good on the V-Rod and they are one of the few that are available with convex glass. Without convex glass your field of view is seriously limited. They also are very well built and show less vibration than the stock mirrors.

There is a thread in here called"best looking mirrors for v rod" and a set of, I think, Apoolo's in that thread really do it for me. Kinda dear though....

The Apollo nd the Apus are both made by the same mfg. (Rebuffini in Italy). They confirmed that at least the Apus will fit.
If you ask the distributor they'll tell you they don't fit apparently based on feedback from one customer. I decided to try them. If they won't fit without an adapter then I'll get an adapter
Just HAVE TO HAVE THEM!

I have the Apollo mirrors on order. Expect them to arrive sometime next week. I was told that they fit the V-Rod without any modifications. Here is a copy of the response to my initial enquiry;

Hey Darrell,
That's funny, Lorenzo told me they did not fit. I contactd the mfg directly who told me they all would fit and have regretfully found out that (at least for the Apus) you'll ned an adapter. Small problem, big results!
Post pics when you install them
