I don't have the bike with me, but the stems on my '08 1200R aren't long enough either - all I can see are my elbows.

I have, however, found some longer stems at JC Whitney. I am thinking about jumping to the 8" stems (I'm not a small guy) so I can see behind me.

Harley makes 2" stem extensions for the stock mirrors and they work great. I have a set on mine and I no longer have a problem. I think they were like $20 at the dealer.

I just added a wider handlebar. The 27in stock ones where silly short.
