If adjusted right the mirrors give a good view rearward and seem to shake less. You do have to get used to looking down for them instead of up above the bars.
I found that rotating the grip / switch mount a little one way or the other helped also.
Agreed.
I have a better view. More like the rearview mirrors of a car. You do have to get used to looking down though.

I ditched my Custom's stock riser and installed Bitwell Slimline risers, tracker bar, and relocated my speedo. The inverted mirrors don't touch my tank and the visibility is improved.

Default Question

I flipped my mirrors and I can see alot better but still some hindurance. Gotta get used to looking down. Also has anyone tried flipping them and buying a mirror extension kit for kurakyn or get the Long Stem tapered mirrors? I was wondering if that would givew better view with passenger. Once my wife gets on the back i cant see anything from them being flipped.
