Default Lowering the fairing mirrors

I just had 12" LA Choppers twin peaks installed on my 2014 SGS. I now have some slight blockage with the fairing mirrors.

Does anyone know of a method, trick, technique or replacement to lower the fairing mirror - but still keep it on the fairing?

I'm trying to avoid putting stem mirrors on.

Thanks.

I wondered the same thing, but have not found anything yet.
I'll probably end up with stem mirrors, just need to find ones that "fit" the look.

Default Lower stock mirrors

I had the 12.5" Wild 1s on my 2010 SG - I lowered the stock mirrors.I took them off, drilled the holes lower in the fairing so the mirror mount would still cover the stock hole when bolted back in place - this 3/8 - 1/2" made a difference - For my 14 SGS, I just went with the 14" Wild 1s - no issues at all now.
