Thanks....those mirrors HAD to get flipped cause I was always catching my knuckles on them when I reached for clutch or brake....sam with stock mirrows....the wider bars allowed me to flip them without hitting gas tank when fork locked....still got two inches to spare....plus mirror wires now are invisible....And bike looks much lower....yeah, it's a keeper now.
