Default Black Mirror Relocation Extension Adapter Kit

Anyone try these out on their Sportster (specifically on the 48 would even more helpful!)?

With the recent handlebar replacement, I moved the mirrors a little too close to the middle and have to tilt my head left/right to see fully in the mirrors.

I have a riding buddie that has those on his street 750 and they work well for him.
For a cleaner look you might find someone who would trade the long stem mirrors for your short.
Assuming you have the short stem.

Thanks.

I do have the short stem, but the stem length doesn't seem to be the problem but rather it needs to move out -- not up or down. Also, one is a little bent so I wouldn't necessarily feel it's a fair trade!

Alternatively, does anyone know if the Black Mirror Extension Kit will work on a 48? It's not listed under the fitment but I'm if that's based on stock conditions? Maybe I'll swing by the local dealership if they have some in stock (doubtful).

I will try and remember to take some pictures over the weekend.
If you have flipped your mirrors then don't bother...
We have had to 'make' them fit as she insisted on keeping her mirrors underneath

I purchased some mirror off a 2012 Fat Bob.
I thought they would be the same length as my stock ones on my 2014 48.
When I put them on they finished at the same length as my drag bars, where the stock ones finish inside by at least an inch.
they didn’t seem to hang lower just sat out wider.
Sorry can’t get you any pics for s few weeks.

They work just fine, I put Biltwell Zed bars on my 48 and changed the mirrors to Biltwell's Utility at the same time. All I could see in the mirrors was my forearms. So I bought a pair of extenders, cheap Chinese knock offs, but the casting and finish are good. The only minor thing was if you look at the top mount in the picture you'll see that rib sticking up on the underside. I had to file that off to get the clutch side to fit, no big deal.
