Default Extended mirrors for drag bars?

The mirrors on my drag bars are practically worthless, as they don't see past me. What attractive extended mirrors are you guys using and where'd you get 'em?

Have same problem. Tried Licks adjustable but the bars are still too short to adjust to get a real good view. They are better than my stock but still not happy.
Wish I would have went with bar end mirror or mirror, some don't like the look of those but I know I would be able to see behind at least. I end up shoulder checking alot still, which is not a bad habit.

I've seen extended mirrors for drag bars and was hoping to find someone that had 'em. My mirrors look pretty crappy already, so replacing them isn't a big deal fortunately. I'd be annoyed if I were you and bought stuff already that didn't work.

I think Kuryakyn has some called Magnums that are a bit longer than normal. If you don't mind Kury stuff. I have a few of their pieces on mine and have been lucky with the quality.

I had the same problem, so I found a set that didn't have too much rise to them and installed them so they are under the bars instead of above. See my photo album for pics.

Harley makes extensions for the stock mirrors, at least they used to. They also make long stem mirrors.

I replaced mine with the harley long stem mirrors. It was better but not as much of a change as I was hoping for.
