Replacement mirrors for FLHX?
I really like my newly installed Klock Werks Ergo Back Bar but my hands are now in the middle of my mirrors. I have installed an old set of conventional mirrors to use for now but I don’t care for the look.
Does anyone know if there are any FLHX replacement mirrors that are a bit longer than stock?

The Fairing Mount Mirrors are 'one size fits all' and unfortunately, if you were to remove the existing mount and move them further 'outward,' you would leave holes in the Inner Fairing.
One option is to look for mirros that you can mount on the handlebars OR you could look at using this:
Kuryakyn Blind Spot Turn Signal Mirror
(uses the existing mounting holes for the H-D Fairing Mount Mirrors)
OR this:
Kuryakyn Windshield Mount Mirrors
Good luck!

If you go with bar mounted mirrors, what do you do with the holes? I had the KW back bars put on. I havent seen the bike yet with them on. But I also got PM fairing mounted mirrors. Hope that wasnt a waste of money

The grips on the Klock Werks Ergo bars flatten out this allows your wrist to be straight rather than bent. To keep your hands inside the fairing the bars are a bit narrower coming out of the faring so they have to be rotated a little higher or they will hit the fuel tank chrome that covers the gas cap when trying to turn the wheel. This will put your hands in the middle of the fairing mounted (FLHX) mirrors.
The Kuryakyn windshield mount mirrors look interesting and just might be the answer.

Check out what captsam54 did with a set of Arlen Ness mirrors HERE
IF I was to do it over again.. I might consider moving the fairing mirrors our as far as possible/conceivable... just cleaner.
BUT I have the best rear vision you could want.. Good Luck..!!
