As in mirrors under the bars? If these extender things don't do the trick I might try that!

Yep , big problem seeing behind yourself. If i have a jacket on , all i get to see is my arms , so i tried flipping them down , did not like how far you had to take your eyes off the road . Going to try some Bar end mirrors.
They should arrive this week ..

If you need to see what's behind you, the method Guzzi has pointed to is the one that worked well for me, too. See what the Küryakyn mirror stem extenders did for me - they do the job perfectly.

Stock bars, stock mirrors flipped.

I have since went with a set of Viewtech Mirrors and love them.

Couldn't see anything behind me before, and now I'm very comfortable in Houston rush hour freeway traffic. Amazon has some good deals on them. http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/397...stem-extenders

I owe you a product recommendation! These things are great. Fit is perfect and they even look good. I can see behind me much better now! Thanks again.
