I had originally planned mirror movers brackets from KST, but being tall I didn’t know if they would get the mirrors into view. I waited till after I installed the bars, then measured how far down I needed to move my stock mirrors before buying anything, and confirmed that the three inches the brackets would move them was not enough.
I’m only about 5-9 and I have to tilt my head to see, I’m actually gonna adjust them because I have my fairing off anyway. That’s another thing, if you don’t get them right the first time, you gotta take the outer fairing off to adjust them. I mean you still have the adjustment of the mirror itself, but if you need to swing the brackets one way or the other you gotta take the fairing back off. Here’s a pic of mine :
I installed KST 12" bars and used the drop brackets for the mirrors. Worked great for me. I'm 6"0' and I can see perfectly in all directions behind me.

This would have been my preference. I’m pretty sure they are nearly invisible from in front of the bike the way yours are mounted in spite of what it looks like from that camera angle behind the bike.

Yes, they are not readily visible from the front. I don't have a better picture to show that though.
I changed to 12” KST mini apes (Mayhems) and ended up having to buy the mirror drops they sell. Although I have CVO mirrors on my bike, they’re shaped the same as the stock fairing mirrors but steel instead of plastic. I liked them before I changed bars but I’m not crazy about the positioning now, to be honest they don’t offer a very good perspective in the lowered position. So if you didn’t like the stock mirrors in the stock configuration, you’re gonna hate them if you end up getting the mirror movers. Just my opinion, of course…
Had the same bars till recently with the KST drop brackets. When I switched bars I bought bar mounted mirrors, glad I didnt sale the brackets. I ended up going back to the brackets/stock mirrors. To me they work way better and imo look way better/cleaner.
