Nope, don't have the PM's, but do have the Wicked Image Fast Lane's and they are top notch.
They stick out further than do the plastic mouse ear moco one's are actually very usable. Ofcourse they are 2-3 times the price, but are metal too.
They also come in black.

they are pretty cool...maybe another option

here's the thing.. i installed 10" Yaffe Monkey Bars...and i'm having a hard time going to bar mounted mirrors...
i've heard from another guy that has 10' Monkeys that he kept the stock mirrors and he can use them "enough"..now alot of poeple that have the 10" bars say the mirrors are useless .... BUT the thing is i'm only 5'6" so seeing 'under" the grips is no trouble for me...and i don't use my mirrors a ton... i ALWAYS glance over the shoulder just to be double sure i'm not about to get runned down by an idiot..
Now my reason for asking about the PM mirrors is that they look like they have a little stem that may give them the ability to be adjusted down in a way that would make them more usefull..... Maybe i'm just wishing.

Alot of guys with the taller handlebars turn their perch mounted mirrors upside down and say that they are quite functionable this way.. It has a different look to it, but whatever works..
You really do need mirrors though.. and should use them too.IMO.

They are more adjustable than the stock mirrors in my opinion... 5'6" tall you will have no problems! I'm 5'7" and I can see out of mine!

The stem is not adjustable but you can tilt them up to the point where they are touching the fairing if you want. PM me your cell number and I can send you some pics tomorrow sometime.

Had the PM. Got rid of them b/c they vibrated so bad as to be useless. Very attractive, but useless. J&P gave me refund. Have Wicked Image now. Sweet. Bigger than oem or PM, stable.
