The good news: The stock mirror fits on the left side with some creative positioning, it could probably work.
The bad news: The short stem mirrors don't fit on either side.
The worse news: Neither right side mirror fits because throttle/idle cables are in the way. Did you guy have to do something to reposition the cables?

on the custom with the 4.5 gal tank you will need to bend the stem some so you have clearance with the tank ik i had to do the same thing till i put a set of apes on then went a bought new ones and installed inverted too, but you definetly see a lot better imho

I actually had a buddy set the proper angle of the stem while I sat on the bike and steadied it. I did have to move the turn signals out of the way as described above but didn't have to bend anything to make it work.

So I got both to fit... now I have to decide whether I want the black short stems above the bars, or the chrome long stems below.
Thanks again for being patient and helping me figure this out!

I feel like a total noob now. Apparently Harley throttle/idle cables "swivel" freely, unlike my old honda where they are firmly connected in one position. It wasn't too hard to just move the cables a little and fit the mirror in. And yeah, no bending needed for the long stems... just took a little bit of work finding the right angle.

It's hard to tell in the pic, but they're also "machined" instead of polished, which looks awesome up close. I need to get some better pics uploaded here, but try this:

Really Nice Clark. Really Nice. If you decide to remove your reflectors use WD40 and fishing line. They'll come right off.

Thanks, yeah I love the wheels. It was a gamble getting them, because I couldn't find any pics of them or bikes with them... so I just went for it. Glad I did.
