I second that. I just ordered the 12inch as well as the bagga chips. Im debating whether to keep my stock or order aftermarket. How would the mirrors look if i mounted them under the bars? Would i lose vision and functionality?

i dont have any better pics, but, mine are and always have been, mounted upside down on ape hangers. blocks out the lights of the dick head behind you, just by dropping my elbow. plus it cleans up the top of the bars. and i dont have to look up, when i am peering back to see if the cop saw whatever i just did....... just a glance with my eyes! lol! but, to each their own..... and i got the yaffe small ovals. they are really good mirrors, but, the arm is magnesium, and the mount screw is steel, so, i stripped them apart trying to tighten them. ooops. the, i couldnt even get them welded, because they are different (the welder told me what they were made of) so, i got some JB Weld, and packed it in the hole, and fixed the mirror where i wanted it, put a few rubber bands on it to hold it together, and left it for a few days. i did that in 2006, and they are still together!

the **** that works, is usually something i pulled out of my ***! lol!

EDIT, forgot, i am 6 ft 1 in, 210 pounds with long *** arms.
the shiny bike is a 2000 Road King with Hoppe Sportzilla Fairing, and Yaffee 12 in bagger apes. the Sportzilla is 4 inches shorter, and 5 inches narrower than the Harley Batwing. for your size comparison. the bars come over the fairing higher than they would on your street glide.
the dull beat up looking one is my 2004 Road King Custom, with 18 inch tall, 1 1/2 inch thick chubbys, on 3 inch risers. so, basically 20s.
same mirrors on both. i like them.

I'm looking also. Just has 12" MBB installed and have looked at those offered by Yaffe, the RAD III's by Arlen Ness and even the Tailfin design by HD. Yaffe's are $239.00, Ness about $140.00 and the Tailfin is $99.95. Hard to decide just by looking at a picture.
