Yaffe MBB & Mirrors?
Took my first ride Sunday with my new Yafffe 10" MBB and quickly realized that the stock fairing mirrors won't cut it. So now the search is on for LOW PROFILE mirrors for the bars. I don't like the look of mirrors above the fairing so I'm looking for a low as I can go BUT functional. Let's share some pix of those of you that went to bar mirrors.

i have the same bars and put these on that i picked up from J&P. Low profile and I think they look pretty cool. Not as useful as the stock mirrors, but still usable.
also filled the mirror holes with Yaffe Bagga Chips....they look pretty cool too, but are ridiculously expensive for what they are (fortunately i had some gift cards)

Yep, that's the bad thing about fairing bikes, is you're really limited on what you can use for bars. That's why I stuck with Khromewerks Sweepers +2, very comfy and still work with the stock mirrors which suck anyway. I changed those out too.
Then if you get real bold and try to get apes or even the mini ones, not much of anything works anymore for mirrors. You'll probably have to go low profile or hang them upside down which looks lame too.
Good luck!!

You either need them above the bars or wayyyy below the bars. I flipped my stock mirrors on the Fatboy and never had use unless I moved my arm and those mirrors hang fairly low. But looking at my sig it might be different since my apes were high and your arms are probably pointing down.

If you would had went with 12" you would have been ok with the fairing mounted mirrors. With 10" you have no choice but to go with mirrors above the fairing even with the lower profile mirrors. I have a few pics on my page you can check out to get a feel of what the lower profile looks like.
