A friend of mine gave me some chrome versions of my stock black mirrors (FatBob style), I like the look, as soon as I get the bars I want I am also adding the chrome button caps to accent the grips.

Drag bars create that problem. . . . I put on the Chrome Script Teardrop mirrors...gave me about another inch of visible area.

+1 Yep, bars definitely play a big part in your mirror selection. You always can change bars or get some of those extenders that go on the mirror stem. I put on taller bars and it helps. The stock mirrors do a pretty good job but they definitely lose out on style points.
