Default Mirror Flip??

Tried to flip my mirrors on my 07 NightTrain today but realized being mounted under they will hit the tank on both sides so it’s a no-go. I have really wide shoulders and so with my jacket on the stock mirrors are basically useless. Recommendations on how to make the flip work or just order some longer arm version?

These are your options as I see it:
1. Buy mirrors with a shorter stem so when installed under the bars they don't hit the tank
2. Use mirror extensions instead of purchasing mirrors with a longer stem
3. Switch to bar end mirrors

Here are examples from Harley but each type has aftermarket alternatives
1. Short stem mirrors
2. Mirror extensions
3. Bar end mirrors

Another option might be higher handlebar risers to raise the bars, depending on how much the mirrors are hitting. . .
