This proves that I need to find a sea of SGs with PY and just check them out at a rally...because everyone swears that 10s will block the mirrors...and you say yours are just fine....and your look is what I want.

With 10's your elbows will block the stock mirrors

This guy you were talking to is a moron, misspoke, or you misunderstood him.

→SG's do not have a "two inch recess". The rear suspension is lowered on SG's but that does not affect handlebar height.
→As others have said Yaffe's MBB's seem to be higher than advertised. Which is the opposite of what that guy was saying.
→Haven't meet one person with 10's that was able to use fairing mirrors but almost all say you can with 12's.
→Pushing them forward/backward definitely makes a difference on perceived height.

My pic is MBB 10's. I love'em. Aesthetically, they are perfect to me as I, like you, don't like the above the faring look.

I have the Yaffe 10" on mine. Took the stock fairing mirrors off and put Yaffe knockoff mirrors on. After about 2 months I decided I didn't like the look of mirrors on the bars so I went back to the fairing mirrors. Not as good as bar mirrors for a full view but a cleaner look IMO.

I ha e 12" MBB's and they are not az tall as the above pic. I see fine from my fairing mirrors which is why I went with 12's. The bars above gotta be 14's.
