The Pinnacle of Minimalist Design: Arlen Ness Mini Oval Micro Mirror

In the world of custom motorcycles, the goal is often to simplify and streamline. The Arlen Ness Mini Oval Micro Mirror is the embodiment of this philosophy. Known as one of the most compact and aesthetically pleasing mirrors in the industry, the “Micro” series was designed by the Ness family to provide a functional rear-view solution that doesn’t distract from the lines of the motorcycle. Whether you are building a high-performance Club Style Dyna, a stripped-down bobber, or a sleek Performance Bagger, these mirrors offer a sophisticated, low-profile alternative to the bulky, “antenna-like” mirrors found on stock bikes. When you choose Arlen Ness, you are choosing a legacy of custom excellence, and the Mini Oval Micro Mirror is no exception.

Superior Billet Construction and Craftsmanship

Unlike many aftermarket mirrors that use cheap cast metals or plastic housings, every Arlen Ness Micro Mirror is CNC-machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 billet aluminum. This aircraft-grade material provides an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring that the mirror remains lightweight while offering the structural integrity needed to withstand the high-frequency vibrations of a large V-twin engine. The machining process results in razor-sharp lines and a smooth, premium finish that cast products simply cannot replicate. Available in a deep, mirror-finish chrome or a durable black anodized finish, these mirrors are designed to endure the elements and maintain their show-quality appearance for years of hard riding.

Advanced Convex Optics for Enhanced Safety

The biggest challenge with ultra-compact mirrors is maintaining a safe field of vision. Arlen Ness has solved this by utilizing high-quality convex glass in the Mini Oval Micro design. The subtle curvature of the glass allows it to capture a much wider area than a flat-glass mirror of the same size. This means that despite its “Micro” footprint, the mirror provides a clear and comprehensive view of the traffic behind you, effectively reducing blind spots. The glass is securely seated within the billet housing to prevent “mirror blur” and vibration at high speeds, providing a steady and reliable image whether you are navigating dense city traffic or cruising at interstate speeds.
