Default Mirrors below apes

I'm thinking of going with just one mirror mounted below my apes. The mirrors I am running now will not work, I can't get the right adjustment.I like this look, butbefore I buy something new, I would like to hear your thoughts. I am running 16" apes on a Deuce, and my hands are just above shoulder level. Chad

Your moto looks great bro!! I tried doing the same on my apes, but my arms got in the way a couple of times. It sort of gave mea blind spot withmy arms in the way. I just thought it was not safe for me, but if you can get past the arms being inthe way than that's up to the individual.

Thank for the replies. I was wondering if my arms might get in the way. I might try my stock mirrors once the snow melts.
