Default Mirrors

Do they make extensions for mirrors? Most of the time when I look through them I see my elbows. Do I need differant bars maybe? They are the stock ones that came with it. 2003 Sportster 1200C.

Ditto here, gotta drop my right elbow every time i check behind myself.

While out riding last week i was contemplating relocating the mirrors below the handlebars.
Anyone done this..??

harley has extensions and JP has the same ones for half the price

And depending on how your mirrors are mounted you can get everything you need at your local hardware store.

Here ya go bud, try this before spending the $$ on extensions. Takes about 10 mins to do & it's free.

Cant flip on an 03 unless you relocate the signals first.
Right side mirror runs through to the signal.
