Let's talk mirrors and apes

On my new 17 CVO i went with Yaffe looking bars and they are a hair shorter than the 12" yaffe's I had on my 12. On the 12 SG, I had enough height to look under my arms at the faring mirrors. Unfortunately this time it will not work.
So I will be pulling the faring mounted mirrors and adding bar mounted ones.

I know this is a very subjective question due to preference but I am looking for ideas on what people went with. I want something low profile. I have looked on the net for hours and most are not installed on baggers so I cannot really get an idea of what they look like. Pics would be great if you have any.

Thanks in advance.

I have 12's with bar mounted mirrors, but I also use the fairing mirrors in conjunction with them. I have the bar mirrors set to see wide and the fairing mirrors are more useful in a narrow view since my arms block them from providing anything more than that.

Crappy pic, but Ness Mini Ovals. They are tiny but still functional.

I am looking at the Arlen Ness tear drop ones because of the points on my bars.

There was a post a few months ago in the Rushmore forum, with many pics of mirrors. Here is what i went with. 10" LA Chopper bars and Harley Tribal low profile mirrors.

I installed 12'' KST bars could see under my arms fairly well but after installing there drop down brackets what a difference can see a lot further back which makes them worth putting on better then having to install mirrors on your bars!
