Was just out piddling around and swapped my mirrors to the bottom a la Sportster style. Fit perfect and looked amazing, but wouldn't ya know, they hit the tank very soon turning the bars. That sucks. Need something with a longer arm or something. Anyone else try this?

I ran joker machine viewtech 7 long stem mirrors under the stock Hollywood bars on my Slim and they did not hit the tank like the stock mirrors did. The joker mirrors hug up closer to the bar, I still run them with my 16" apes. I like the convex glass, gives a good field of view.
lol @ sportster comments. I can understand the mirror underneath apes, concept on standard bars I'm having a difficult time with tho. Good luk with that, post a few pics when you're done.
Why would you want to make your bike look like a sportster?
you relax

most of us turn the bars as close to the tank as possible then adjust the mirror arms so that there is no tank contact. once free on both sides, we then adjust the mirror for visibility with handle bars forward. i did this on my dyna and sporty. on the sporty it had to be done because all i saw was my arms with the mirrors right side up. dyna was done because i'm used to seeing all i need to see on one line
