Road Glide mirrors
The only thing I didn't care for on my Road Glide was the placement of the mirrors - too close together, couldn't see behind me well enough. Had the dealer get me some with a longer stem. When I picked them up, they were only about an inch farther out, so I was skeptical - but they make a huge difference. Also got them in black, so they blend in better. Best $70 I've spent on the bike so far!

I agree. I did the same thing with chrome mirror extensions. I'd love to see it in black. How 'bout a pic?

It's not just a RG thing, it's a touring bike thing. Stock config leave 90% of rides seeing their shoulder in 50% of hte mirror. Marketing strategy.... gotta but sumthin else!

RE: Road Glide mirrors
I too would like to see what fixed the problems. And not only can't I see behind me, but I'm using a tall Clearview shield and the stems hit the side of the shield at full lock.

RE: Road Glide mirrors
Put long stems on mine to fix the problem, couldn't figure out how raiseing the mirrows up an inch with the extenders was going help 
so I got the long stem's did the trick. Mine doesn't hit my clearview but I did move them toward me a little
