Default Mirror dilemma

just put on 14" Dominator meathook bars and can't see my stock mirrors on 2020 street glide special. Any tips on how to drop them down or replacement mirrors so I'm not blind?

Assume by stock - not the ones mounted in the fairing - but the stock ones with stems

This^ .., or adjust them so you can

Got basically the same set up with stock stems mirrors - work just fine

Basically this

You can also get ones with longer stems - which is what I got

Remove the fairing mirrors and plug the holes, then install mirrors on your bars.

here are drop brackets, this is the first one I clicked on, but you have many options to choose...

or as mentioned, get bar mounted mirrors, I personally use these...

I use these also. Couldn’t find a stem mirror I liked and these also covered up the marks on the inner fairing from the stock mirrors. Painted inner fairing on my bike and the rub marks looked horrible to me.

flip them..although, you might have to move your arms if you need a full view. It works, but I am thinking of getting new mirrors and installing them up again. There is a brand on HD site that adjusts in multiple places.

If you don't mind functional but tiny mirrors, many go for the Ness Mini Ovals. They look good on taller bars....
