Default Fairing mirror relocators or small bar mount mirrors?

I just put +2 Sweepers on my '09 SG. I read a lot of people who used these bars & were able to use stock fairing mirrors. Well, I can't! I'm too short. Is there a way I can raise the stock fairing mirrors 1-2" or maybe extend the outwards a bit? If not, though I really really don't want them, what are some really small bar mounted mirrors that still function well that aren't $250?

I use stock mirrors from a dyna they work good and are not that bad. I went back to fairing mount mirrors with taller bars.I plan on selling tthe dyna mirrors.

I want to exhaust ALL options w/the stock mirrors before I go to bar mounted mirrors because I really don't care for the look of them on a batwing. Do you have any pic's w/the dyna mirrors? I'd really appreciate it.

I have the 10 inch wild1 bagger apes and used this mirror. It works real good. I did not like the stock mirrors anyway.

Its raining out now so I took some garage shots of the front of my bike.

I'm going to try these, for $40 bucks they are worth a shot!

I ended up having to go to bar mounted mirrors also. I could have used the fairing mirrors (If I wanted to duck down to see through them all the time):

Sorry, but personally I don't care for the look of any of those bar mounted mirrors. It's not the mirrors I don't like, it's the way they look on a batwing bike. They look out of place & don't flow w/the fairing. Any way to raise the stock ones? Or an extended stem on them or something?
