Default Flipped Mine

I flipped mine a couple of days ago and what a difference! I have a clear line of view behind me and to the sides from both mirrors.

Other than just getting used to looking "down" instead of "up" at the mirrors, I would recommend it to anyone who is only seeing their shoulders!

I think I'm gonna try this. I haven't even looked at the mirrors to see how they come off. Pretty simple? I don't need to disassemble the whole bar, do I?

I saw something in one of the earlier posts that made me think. Of those of you who have flipped the mirrors, how many are the peanut style and how many are the larger "C" model tank? Looking at all the Nightsters and such with flipped mirrors, if I did that on my 1200C, the mirrors would hit the tank real quick.

When you flip the mirrors just simply adjust the "arm" out enough to gain clearance, then adjust the mirror itself.
