Ended up making these (made 2 but only use one on the LH side) The stalk is polished bronze (which took awhile to make) and the hardware is polished stainless. I bought a black sportbike mirror (black to be less noticeable) with convex glass. Much smaller than stock and still good visibility.

 

Those are SWEET !!

Good job!

 

I got these HD mirrors. I am surprised how well I can see behind me. They have a wide view.

I am in the same boat. I just put 12.5" bars on and while I can still use my fairing mirrors, I don't like them. Looking at the Ness Rad II mirrors.

See them here on a member's bike.

I have Arlen Ness mirrors on mine. They have a low profile and are still useful. Not too spendy either

 

Paul Yaffe has some nice smaller options. Also Arlen Ness has some micro type.

 

Yaffe has some nice stuff, just too pricey for this guy. I'll have to check out Ness's.

 

Ness Rad II for me. They are small but easy to see in it. I'm going to swap them this winter for Yaffe's look but much cheaper...

 

Check out www.demonscycles.com. I found a bunch of low profile mirror options, pretty reasonable prices too. (BTW, I am in no way affiliated with the company)

 

You should have left the fairing mirrors on. I have 12 in Yaffe bars on my Street Glide and can see just fine out of the stock fairing mirrors. Some may not like the look of the fairing mirrors but IMO they look better than mirrors mounted on apes. Some of the small rad mirrors look okay but not very functional.
