I have these on my FXDC, and see great (barely see my arm at all, if I have them turned so I can see everything straight behind me, but I usually have them set so I see more beside me).
When I had them on top I'd catch a part of my shoulder
Now that they're on the bottom I catch part of my elbow.
Both of these are intentional for perspective of where I am and the things behind me are.

I might as well add that I have standard HD mirrors on standard handlebars and I don't have any problems seeing what's behind me .
