Good mirrors to hang under my apes
This might seem trivial, but I promise I have a point to this post...
I recently put Roland's Sands 16" King Apes on my FXDB. Now my black HD mirrors sit way high, which is still fine to see behind/around me, but I think looks goofy.
So... I un bolted them and hung them underneath, pretty simple and looks good.
Problem: The mirrors don't tilt up (which is really down when mounted the correct way) enough so that I can see. Moving them as far as I could, I could still only see the ground.
So the question is.... Any suggestions for mirrors that have a bigger range of motion or are designed to be hung under ape hangers?

I thought about flipping mine for the same reason right after I put my bars on. However it did not bother me enough to do it right away. Now after some time with them on top I will never move them. I like how much I can see with them up high. Even more true when the pack is going through a town.

Well that's the mirror I got on there now and it's fine. It was bigger than expected after receiving it but I put it on anyway. I actually have a 3" round mirror that I wanna try out, just haven't had the weather to ride yet
