I got tired of looking at my knuckles too and couldn't find what I wanted in the aftermarket either so I made some "risers" for the fairing mount location and used standard OEM tapered mirrors. They look pretty good and they see even better, full visibility in the main mirrors and unbelievable wide angle with the little mirrors; I can see a car on line with my rear fender, two lanes over.

Split view mirrors
I like my new HD split view mirrors,but the small mirror on the left one arrived from ChicagoHD flawed(it's like the black plastic under the mirror paint is resurfacing) and unfortunately I didn't open the box when they arrived.I called HD and they told me they couldn't do anything about it since the mirrors now are in Italy, I should've complained while I was still in the US.OK,I'll buy another set when I go home for Easter!

I have the Kuryakyn Blind Side fairing mirrors with LED turn signals and I like them a lot.
They extend further out than the HD ones so I don't see my knuckles. They're chrome, they have turn signals and they can be tightened unlike the HD ones.
Check them out.

Performance Machine FL Touring Mirrors
I tried the HD fairing mounted mirrors. Unfortunately, they didn't fit quite right due to a manufacturing flaw and they sat too low on the inner faring. Faced with the prospect of finding a used, non-drilled, inner faring and going back to the handlebar mounted mirrors, I found the fairing mounted "FL Touring Mirrors" from Performance Machine. They bolted up to the existing holes in the fairing, are much more adjustable, are bigger, are machined aluminium and chromed, and work great.

Got a couple of sets used as a display we're selling for cheap.

Sort of on topic: I'm looking for mirrors for my 2004 Police model electra glide. It has the stock police, long stem, chrome, ball swivel, rectangular and flat mirrors. I like everything about them but the "flat" part. I'd prefer convex to provide that wide angle view that's so important in traffic. But I have not been able to find anything like what I want. I'd even be willing to replace the glass in my stock units if need be. Suggestions?
