Could you elaborate on that? Are the clip ons not built with support for flipped mirrors?

Also, could you take a picture of yours with the stock cables?

Thanks!

The clip-ons don't work with flipped stock mirrors. They do work with stock cables/brake line.

AH, I see, so the bars are too low for the flipped-on mirrors to clear the tank
Thanks!

These look SICK. Any solutions for relocating the speedo to the side without getting clearance issues? I thought maybe an Autometer relo with a 1 inch indicator light clamp on the frame?

So, I bought the RSD clip ons. After taking a closer look, the stock cables are definitely too long, and I don't really want to reroute them
ECUtrav, did you get any cables/brake line? If so, do you remember the length?
