Default Relocating Fairing Mirrors?

Thenew handlebars on my Street Glide obstruct the fairing mirrors. I was expecting this to some extent, but the problem is more severe than I figured it would be. Is there a kit for relocating the fairing mirrorsor am I stuck with removing them and going to handlebar mounted mirrors instead? If I change them out, are there any ideas about what to plug the hole in the fairing with?

not to get off the subject... which bars did you put on?

Back on the subject... a lot of people just plug the holes and then use bar mounted mirrors

check the arle ness fairing mount mirrors, looks like they are extended out and I am pretty sure they use the same mount locatios as stock.

If you can't find a mirror that will work in that location with your new bars you can install tweeters using the holes and if you ever switch bars again you can reinstall the mirrors..

Lowe's has push in plugs that work great. I bought 4 of them for my 07 Sg for about $2. Almost perfect match to the stock inner fairing color. Quick, easy, and removeable. Works for me.

These are the Chubby bars, 575 I believe. Are the Lowe's plugs found where the nuts and bolts are located?
