I ride with the licks mini round mirrors. They are not flipped. If you have them flipped on keystones, you'll never be able to see

why wouldn't you be able to see with flipped mirrors?
I thought keystones were a bit higher than stock bars? (48, nightster and iron)

good looking bike btw!

I should clarify, stock mirrors do fit but I couldnt adjust them flipped to see anything. they are higher but they're also more narrow than the stock bars. Sights issues arent with height, it with the width

quick question (hijack) .. i love the bars but would need to tilt them back a bit for my t-rex arms.
Has anyone done this? Do they look terrible tilted back? does it change the wrist angle too much to do?

@mos68x, the levers are Kuryakn Zombie Levers

@BMCsteve, I had no issues adjusting my mirrors, I actually see better with them flipped down and adjusted. I'm 5'9 though...
