Upside down mirros on WG
So the other day I was tinkering around and decided to flip my mirrors on my WG. Didnt think I would care for it but wanted to give it a try. To my surprise it really opened up my view and I definitely liked it!
Only problem is that my stock mirrors dont adjust far enough to actually be useful when they are upside down. For those of you that are running with your mirrors upside down, what mirrors did you end up going with?

I use the HD LED signal mirrors. I had the same issues. Surprisingly, just rotating the whole switch housing slightly forward or back will give you more adjustability in the mirrors. Before changing them out, just loosen the switch housing and rotate it each way a little and you'll see a whole lot of adjustment capability in the mirrors.

Use any mirror that has adjustment on the mirror head. This will allow you to have 2 adjustments. 1) at the base-mount 2) at the mirror head
This way you can adjust them up-down, left right, and angle them
My question is why can you not adjust them?
At the base you can turn the mirror in and out Plus some adjustments at the mirror.
Unless you have billet mirrors which may not give you enough room to turn the mirror at the mount. Round stem mirrors should do the trick

I personally can't stand the shape of the stock mirrors.
I flipped a right-hand round HD mirror upside-down on the left for a classic chopper look:

(The price there is for a pair, but they can get you just one or the other if you ask)
