MOTORCYCLE PURCHASED BRAND NEW, STOCK CONFIGURATION, MIRRORS TOO SHORT FOR ANYONE TO SEE BEHIND THEM. MANUFACTURER (HARLEY-DAVIDSON) WANTS YOU TO PURCHASE "LONG STEM MIRRORS" TO FIX THE PROBLEM. UNSAFE VEHICLE RIGHT OUT THE DOOR. I'M SURE THERE IS A LAW SOMEWHERE THAT SAYS "THE VEHICLE MUST HAVE A REAR VIEW MIRROR" SOMEWHERE IT HAS TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT "THEY MUST BE USABLE". ALL YOU CAN SEE IN THESE MIRRORS IS YOUR SHOULDER. THEY SIMPLY ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH. SO HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE BUYING NEW MIRRORS JUST TO STAY SAFE, HOW MANY ARE NOT. MAKE THEM FIX THIS. SIMPLE FIX THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I PAID FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SAFE MOTORCYCLE. IT IS NOT. THE ATTACHED PHOTO IS A STOCK HARLEY DAVIDSON FXLRS 2020 "UNTOUCHED". LOOK AT HOW THE MIRRORS DO NOT EXTEND PAST THE END OF THE HAND GRIPS. YOU CANNOT SEE PAST YOUR ARM ON EITHER SIDE. I'M SURE THEY NEW THIS, OTHER WISE THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THE "LONG STEM MIRRORS" THAT YOU CAN BUY. *TR
