How about some bar end mirrors?

Something like these:



Or these?



There's a lot of different styles, and a lot of variance in prices.

To flip my mirrors i need at least 8'' stems to see pass my rider I flipped one day to check it out couldn't see behind me the whole time had to put them back on top .Running 16'' wild ones. ME & the ol lady are both kinda broad shouldered & with leathers on it 's worse .

Well.... The riser bushing issue was a little confusing. I had ordered them through the good Doctor here on the forums. From what I've been told, the bushings I received (Extreme Duty) were the ones i ordered. So it appears I got the "correct" bushings.

All I know is if they were really "extreme duty" one would think they'd be a TON stiffer than what they were. My 5 year old OEM bushings were stiffer than these. Seriously!!

I spun up a set of solids and may try those after I get my ride running again. But for now, I have the H-D poly busings installed and they were a HUGE improvement over the Carlini bushings. I'd say more than 75% of the flex was eliminated.

The Carlini bushings would be just fine for low bar/short riser configurations. But for apes... Let's just say there are MUCH better choices out there.

It wouldnt really matter if I run mine on the top or the bottom. I still cant see anything out of them. They are too small to see anything except the lights behind me at night. THey are Arlen Ness mirrors.
