Default Underslung Mirrors for Breakout

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if any of you are running under bar (hanging) mirrors on a Breakout?

Mine will be along shortly and the useless mirrors will be the first thing to go. I like underslung mirrors but I was wondering if there would be clearance issues with the tank and whether they would provide a better view than the stock mirrors.

Any thoughts would be warmly welcomed.

Cheers.

Paul

Flipping the factory mirrors (L to R, R to L) and mounting them under the bars did nothing for me. I'm 6'4".
The mirrors will be able to hit the tank, btw.


I'm going to try riser spacers and then maybe bar end mirrors.

I was thinking of bar end mirrors as an alternative too.
