I'm with you! I bagged the ears before I ever rode mine. I bought the Triumph black tear drops and had to take a little off of the stem with a pipe cutter to get them to snug-up properly. I can see what's behind me without any issues and I definitely prefer the style.
Lol....I pick up my R3R on the 18th and ordered the black tear drop mirrors today so that they can be on the bike when I bring it home...sounds like a common story.
Cheers
The other common story is that those tear drops vibrate at higher speeds, it's not the end of the world but it would be nice to stop it...maybe heavier bar end weights would help...?

My ovals never vibrate either. I've had them for maybe 3 of years now. Not sure it's all that much of a common problem. Few people have had issues; one recently hadn't used those "little sleeve things" and others have reused old ones. Mounted correctly they seem to be generally fine.
