Default Another Mirror question.

I have the fairing mirrors right now. Who ever mounted them used the templates, which for a tall person places them too low. When I did them on my old bike I fudged a little high just because they did not have a whole lot of adjustment. So now I can't get them to adjust up high enough to be able to see in them comfortably. Do the new HD split mirrors have any more adjustment. The seem larger so I would hope there would be more vision to the rear. But for now I need to be able to get them to tilt higher. Can't really redrill the holes and don't really want to spend $500 on new inner fairing. They are installed correctly, that's the problem. I like the fairing mirrors since I am a rather large individual and with handlebar mirrors all I see is my elbows. If you use the long stems you don't see anything because of the vibrations.
