Actually with the 13's the mirrors are viewable under th bars, but the switch housing covers the top 1/4 of the mirror. They still work for me, but I am toying with the idea to keep them or go with bar mounted mirrors.

Another question, how long of clutch cable did you use? I have a +4" cable routed through the fairing, do you think it would work with the 13"s?

I believe I had +6 , but I do not know for sure. I ordered parts through hdbikeparts, and he sent me everything I need when I told him what I was doing. If he sent me +6 then +4 maybe and I mean maybe it would work, but if I got +8 then +4 would not work. If you end up changing bars and don't mind waiting a couple days. Try the +4 and if they wont fit then order then right cable. Shipping is a few days.
