So I picked the 2015 up today from the dealer, love the bars, but now I'm blind.  Can't see the side mirrors

Is there some type of lowering kit for the mirrors or relocation or something

[CowboyBagger]

I went with handle bar mounted mirrors and removed the fairing mounted.  Then I moved my tweeters to the mirror holes in the fairing.  I purchased oil temperature and fuel gauges to mount in the old tweeter locations.

As Cowboy Bagger stated you'll need handle bar mounted mirrors. You can also buy chips or covers to fill in the stock mirror hole as another option when you remove the stock mirrors.

Im amazed no one makes a raised or lowered extension,  seems like an inexpensive alternative to buying mirrors

You will be much happier with mirrors at mount on the bars.  I had the holes filled and painted.  Looks great.   Never was a fan of the fairing mirrors ever.  Just sayin.

will any mirror work,  can they be mouned updside down, I don't like the idea of the mirrors sticking that high above the fairing

[Fatboy]

 You could always go with taller bars.

I have 12 " apes on mine, I have no issue with not being able to see the mirrors. Did you get the HD bars? the Kustom mayhem bagger bars are shaped differently.

I recently removed my SG mirrors. I really liked them but I had to kind of duck my head down or move my arm a bit to get a full look in the mirror. I found some bar mounted mirrors that I like and I had them on the top of the handlebars for awhile like this;



But my OCD got the best of me and I couldn't bear to see them sticking up 1 more minute so I moved them under the bars like this;



No more bug antenna sticking up above my fairing. In addition to being ugly, it also sucked cleaning all the bugs off of the mirrors.

Cowboy Bagger... Could you post a pic of your mod to fairing

I have 12" Yaffee bars on mine and I can see my fairing mounted mirrors just fine. I'm 5'-8" tall and my bars are mounted as far forward as I could without rubbing. I like my bars forward.

Willy the Yaffee 12" MB or more like 14", especially with them all the way forward.

I had heard they were taller than 12" but even drooping on the bars I can still see out of the fairing mirror.

Might be because I'm 5'-8". I can see it might be a problem if someone was taller though.

Plus, I'm too cheap to buy Yaffe's fancy little mirror plugs.
