I went with 13" Prime Apes from LA Choppers and kinda wish I got 14 or 15's.

If you're set on the PY-MB's then you must be aware of the price?

You can get these Santee's for a 1/3 rd of the PY price..

I prefer the Khrome Werk Sweepers +2 myself..
I wanna keep my hands in the pocket of the fairing and once you go with apes your mirrors will look lame sticking up like bug antennas or real lame upside down. IMHO..

To clarify. Your eyes go to the same spot as the stock position. In the stock position the mirror is above your hand. With the 12" ape the mirror is below your hand. The view is the same. You don't have to tilt your head or any other contortion to clearly see out of your mirror. It works exactly the same as stock in an emergency situation. Just look in your mirror, same as always.
