​​​​​​​Pingel sells a set of fairing mount drop down brackets but they are Good Lordie expensive...somewhere in the four hundred buck range.

You will have to go at least 12's to keep the stock fairing mirrors. Even then it will depend on how far you pull them back. I have 12's with fairing mirrors, about half the mirror is usable.

These are a little less expensive.

Back when I swapped my 09 FLHX bars for 10", went with these fairing mounted mirrors...worked great.

Go ahead and replace your stock mirrors. They’re useless once you upgrade your bars. I put 10 inch mini from paul Yaffe on my 2018 Street glide.

Just go with 14's and you can keep your fairing mirrors and will probably be more comfortable riding.

Bought some cheap $34 on amazon after I upgraded just to try them out. They were actually really good quality and I think they are ten times better than the OEM mirrors.
