Default Mirrors on Ultra

I was wondering if anyone had replaced thier mirrors with the longer stemed mirrors? I bought the mirror extensions which I had to do to my Road King, but I think I would like the whole new mirror set up.
My shoulders are too wide to see around.

Got tired myself of looking at my elbows with stock mirrors.
Today picked up a set of Kuryakyn Magnum Plus mirrors with long stems.

Very nice mirrors and I can actually see behind the bike now.....

Same problem here with this big daddio.

Went with fairing mounts on my Ultra (EXTREMELY STABLE - NO VIBRATION - CLEAR AT ALL SPEEDS).

Also went back to classic rectangles with long stems AND the extension kit (but they vibrate alot more being way out there).

GREAT combo for the highways though - especially near onramps.

FOUR mirrors make me "feel" a little safer too Check out my photo album for more.

Another vote for the fairing mounted mirrors. Solid.

Fairing mounts are great. Not as adjustable as stem mounts, but they work great for me.
