These must have different glass??
If you pay attention to your surrounding,like if your life depended on it.What do you need to see BACKWARDS? Flowers and little bees,tiny asses?
I see what can do damage.Pay attention.Mirrors are plenty and MATCH bars PERFECTLY

I got some low profile mirrors from amazon for 20-25 bucks. They go well with my yaffee 10" bars. After 3 years they still look good. Forgot the actual brand though. Something dragon.

With high enough bars, at least 13" and higher, you can still use the fairing mounted mirrors. Mine work great with most of the mirror unrestricted.

This is what i did and all i could see was my elbow.There is lots of factors when poutting mirrors under the bars. So what works for one person might not work for others. Bar height, your height and mirror styles will dictate.

I put the HD tribal cut on mine after doing apes and realizing how stupid the stock mirrors looked.

Same thing don't want to hijack.
The bars are Yaffe MBB 8" but they actually measure 9.5" Yaffes run a little taller. I'm 5'8" and with my reach I'm fortunate that the mirrors work well for me and look good IMHO, probably road 14,000 miles with them and have no plans to change them. My wife took this pic today.
