Frame is a Custom Dynamics quad light (integrated running, brake and turn signals). Bracket were just a few pieces of scrap steel I had in the garage. Mounted between the fender and the retainers for the fender struts.

I'll look into those. Thanks!
I spent an hour messing with mine in an attempt to flip them. Throttle side was fine but like you I couldnt get the clutch side positioned in way to clear the tank and be useful. I gave up, maybe with some mirror extensions it would work.

It's a quick 5 minute job. Flip the mirrors. Then loosen the switch housings and levers. Rotate the grips till you have the clearance you need and the angle of the levers are comfortable. Tighten the housing and levers again. Done.

That's about the only thing I haven't tried. I'll give that a shot today.

I just followed the instruction here and if I want good visibility they will still hit the tank. No go fo me. I'm gonna look for other mirrors instead,
Thanks for sharing anyway!

Toss the stock mirrors in the trash. Long-stem mirrors with the $11 mirror risers from banggood have resulted in perfect visibility on my '18 Fat Bob. I can see the lane next to me, the lane next to that one, and the car directly behind me, in each mirror.
