Mirrors?? Why get practical now?

Kidding. Most of the tall apes I see are mounted upside down as mentioned above.

I tried flipping mine underneath and I could not see out of them. Had to put them back up top. Hate the look but function over looks for mirrors in my book. Still looking for another pair to go underneath.

here are a few pics of mine - it's like having the fairing mounted ones but slightly lower so they work for my set-up

I forget what kind I installed on top of the apes but I kept the stock ones in place because the top and stock serve 2 different purposes. The top mirrors show what's behind me and the stock mirrors when positioned properly will allow you to see what's right next to you so all you have to do is lift your arm up and without turning your head you will see what's right next to you and slightly behind in the next lane. I use them both. All 4 of them.

Go to ebay, should be plenty that fit the bill. Once there type in "demonscycle" or just google it, nice Low profile mirrors to choose from and not too expensive...I ended up buying some that are exact replicas of "Kuryakyns Scythe mirrors" but a bit smaller...

Apes are not a cheap MOD.Don't know the style of the apes OP has?
Mirrors are the finishing touch.Match your mod or enhance it.Or totally mess it up on JC Whitney,Walmart or Flea Market.Or even upside down?? Different strokes,bars,mirrors for different folks. Go shopping
Many have seen these before here.Yup,tiny special glass that works well.
