Loosen the mounting screw, that will give some in and out adjustment but with no up and down adjust they're still pritty useless.

Well that sucks. Bet they weren't cheap either. I got the Harley Tailfin mirrors a few months back. They're a bit wider at the base and don't swing around quite as much as the round-stemmed stock ones. Left one is great but the right one is "just" in my sight (base is right up against the Brake fluid reservoir). Fortunately, they are still quite useable. Great 'cause I love the look . . .

So far I haven't found any mirror better than stock, aftermarket mirror is only for look.

yeah, i'm gonna have to agree with ya. They look killer but they are not very practical...and yeah, they weren't cheap either.

lol, oh well, sometimes you have to sacrifice functionality for coolness.

Exactly! I love these Arlen Ness Turbo rocket mirrors on my old Sportster but can't see shlt, they shake like a vibrator lol. Your fixed mirrors look weird, they should make a pivot point for adjustment.

Put them on eBay and let someone else try them out. It's important to see what's coming up behind you.
