You haven't got Clean for sure buddy. I'm gonna get him to the right side when I ship him a set of OEM Dumbo mirrors. Then I want him to video him smashing that little dinky mirror with a sledge hammer. I am also not totally against the little mirrors, but if you have a real truck, and its used as a truck, you need some mirrors that work. If you have a lowered truck, or a shortbed grocery gitter, then OK maybe the little ones are OK.

I would love to talk **** about your guy's little girly mirrors but now that I know Mr. Clean has them im going to bite my tongue. Clean also has my address haha.

This was an issue when I was in the street bike scene also, most people would remove all the government mandated safety features on their new motorcycles. The day after I bought mine I came out in my driveway and my buddy had all the goofey reflectors removed. I tried riding around without the mirrors, screw that.

Same thing with my truck, trucks should have good mirrors. If I come across a set of tripod mirrors that aren't HUGE I will put some on my 85, I like to see behind my truck as well as down low by the tires. You never know if there's something in the way you dont want to run over.

Don't be a wuss. You been complaining you wanted to move anyway. He'll never find you. And the verdict isn't in yet anyway. Just cuz his truck has girly gay mirrors, doesn't mean he likes them.

I remember a post Clean made about listening to old school gangster rap, no one predicted that. He might be a huge fan of the little mirrors.

Nawww, Clean don't scare or intimidate me. I bet he is easy to get along with. If he is anything like me, don't F with my Truck, Wife, Dog or Tools and we'll get along just fine.

Clean is probably the nicest guy out of all of us, I just like poking fun at how smiley and cheerful he looks.

So we've come to the verdict that the 73 mirrors look better than the dumbo mirrors, right? :)

Ok, we will clear the air. I have small mirrors on my DD, I like the look, but I can't see **** out of them. I have some Dumbo mirrors from the doors on my Blazer, and the good set from the doors that were given to me. So to answer the question I like the look of the small mirrors, but don't like how they work.

I am with Retro on the power Dumbo mirrors, if I could find a set of them That is what I would be using. :Good or Bad:

This is exactly my sentiment on the deal!! I know full well that "dumbo" mirrors work better but the smaller mirrors LOOK better :High 5:

FTW! Power folding dumbo mirrors trumps all!! I'd for sure rock those on my truck in favor of my small 1973 mirrors :naughty:

I won't risk safety and functionability to have cute little mirrors on any of my truck.
