I'm enjoying my new '11 Superlow. I don't know if it's me or what, but I can't seem to adjust the mirrors so that I can see behind me. It's as if the stems aren't long enough. I can adjust them to see beside me, but if I adjust so that I can see behind me, I end up looking at me.

Anyone else notice this? Seems a shame to replace perfectly good mirrors, but I definitely need some longer stems on these mirros so that I can see traffic behind me.

Thanks in advance.

I think most people who ride sportsters complain about that, I ended up putting longer stem mirrors on my '05 and they vibrated so much that I ended up taking them off. Problem was solved when I went to apes...

 

I have the mirror extension. About $20 at the stealer. I highly recomend them, they are a great improvement.

 

I tried the mirror extension,,the little post things,,,
Mirrors vibrated to beat all hell.

Got me a set off a Night train,,perfect length,,not as long as standard
long stem,,,Now I can see around my shoulders.

 

+1 for the mirror extension,and a dab of blue thread locker an your good to go.

 

if you rotate the stems back toward the end of the levers i think you can get them to where you can see better it worked for me

 

Man up and ask your wife or girl friend to adjust mirrors for you. Got our great grandaugher to adjust mine.
