Has the same problem with the stock mirrors on my '06RG. I had a great view of my arm pits. Changed to the Kury Magnums.

+1 on the adjustment. Not sure if this is what the above is stating, but the stalks should be at a 90 degree angle with the centerline of the bike, then adjust the mirrors. That solved my problems; if not HD sells some cheap long stems.

2 inch higher bars and teardrop mirrors did it for me

Not quite. What I was refering to in my previous post was the angle of the upper-most portion of the stalk. You need to stand at the front of the bike to see it. Guess I should have mentioned that in my first post. The part of the stalk that attaches to the mirror is pointing straight back and is parallel to the bike's center line.This method actually pushed the mirrors further out than the 90 degree method on my bike.
