Here they are, like how they look, just hope I can see through them good enough when I get back on the road.

Here's another angle, haven't learned to do multiple pics yet.

I'll try that and see how it looks and works after It gets back together. Last time I tried it on another bike yrs ago, I couldn't see anything but my sholders. I don't really like them sticking up either but I do like to see what and how fast something comes up behind me.

How tall are you, I'm 5'9"

I think the Bike I tried it on had 18" apes, so maybe on the lower ones I can see under my arms, I'll definitely try it.
