Upside Down Mirrors...
on your apes that is.
i like the look of it for some reason and i've got 16"ers on the way and i was wondering...
how's that work for you guys that have em that way? it seems like you wouldn't be able to avoid just looking at your arms.
and how do you make it look 'pretty' on top of the bars? is there some chrome hardware or something special you guys use or just the stock hardware and just flip the mirrors over?
thanks...

When you flip them the right is the left and the left will becomne the right. If you use stock mirrors you can see pretty well behind you.

yep, gotta swap 'em side for side. I only use one on the left side bar.
(use a right side old school lookin' round mirror).
Kinda hard to see sometimes, sorta have to move may arm a little. it cleans up the look of the bars a lot IMO.

They work fine in Australia. Actually, the mirror I have mounted on my bobber gives a pretty good if blurry view of the road behind me.

First of all, that is a awesome bobber!
I can see fine out of mine. I have a problem when I wear my riding jacket though. I have to move my arm a little to see.

When you flip them head over to the local hardware store and pick up some Chrome Acorn Nuts. They clean up the look alot.
