Default my drag bars came in today

i just got done putting them on..i wish i would have done it earlier today,but i had to take the kids out trick or treating..i went for a ride and it was alot different..it doesnt seem all too bad from what i could tell from the short ride i took..but it definitely rendered my mirrors as useless...should i just get the extensions or buy some different mirrors with longer stems? heres a pic..please excuse my pig sty of a garage(ive been a bit lazy lately)

thanks for the replies and nice comments..i just looked on harleys site and saw the mirror extensions they are 30 bucks..and make it 2 more inches..that is probably close to the difference with the new bars..does anyone have those extensions on with drag bars and did that resolve the problem?

I mounted my mirrors under my bars.

1--Cleans up the bars
2--allows me to see more than my shoulder
3--FREE

There isn't very much you can do about the mirrors, try different angle or turn them upside down. Long stem may help but it looks ugly imo. I love my Ness mirrors but I can't see nothing, after a while, I get used to.
I don't understand how people can mount the mirror under dragbar, is it possible?

Yeh, u just mount them upside down 128. Instead of inserting them from on top, u insert them from below. I still vote for bar ends on drag bars [8D]
