Default Crossbones Mirror Help

I need some help from all you guys that have mounted your mirrors below your bars. Who makes mirrors that allow you to see beyond your arms. I tried turning the stock mirrors under, but all I can see is my elbows. I am looking for black (preferably satin or flat finish).
Any help or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Default UnderGround Mirrors !!

Lets see .. I've been Rolling Underground View Mirrors for quite a while since 08 changing up my Ape Bars.

Depending on how you position view determines what your wanting to see, So it might be your bar height or Just positioning your Mirror .. Have you tried swapping left mirror to right side underground ? .. Hope this helps brotha !

I have switched left and right. I'm running stock bars... Maybe I fust need to get used to lookin' up my armpits. My biggest concern is not being able to see behind me at stops. I guess I would give up the cool looks to live a little longer...

Maybe you should check out the mirrors that attach to end of your grips they seem to be out far enough to give good view and they dont look too bad.
