RE: installed drag bars, can't see behind me with mirrors
ihad the same problem when i got mine.
i switched the mirrors side to side and put them on the bottom.
works greatduring theday you can see perfectly under your arm.
haven't seen how headlights from behind will do. might be a little low
i'll post pics when i figure out how.

eeeh, you don't need to see behind you doc. You should be going fast enough that it shouldn't matter. Anyways, most of our bikes vibrate too damn much to see anything out of the mirrors.

I have some skull mirrors I would sell you cheap.They don't look right on mybuckhorns because they are for drag bars.I will be honest thoughI don't like the adjusment method they use.Loctite would be needed to hold the adjustment once you find out where you need them to be.Ebay will sell them though if you don't want them.

I have the same problem after dragbar installed but it doesn't bother me at all. Try to flip the mirror 180, I do get a better view.

i dont have mirrors on mine, i like it alot and dont really give a ****. i couldnt see anything with them on anyway. havent been pulled over yet by the cops, they dont notice. Im use to looking over my shoulder now. Not saying its for everyone, its probably not for anyone, ill wait til i get pulled over to put them back on. I really like not having them.

If you push the mirror stalks further away from you (towards the front of the bike) you will gain a bit more visability. Its never gonna be perfect because if you look at the bike the mirros are directly inline with your shoulders. I also setup one mirror so its outside edge is pushed pretty far out, I can see behind me in the inside of it and jsut about next to me in the outside edge. its disorienting at first but it does work.
