Yeah, they do stand up like antennae. It'd be much easier to replace them with ones who's stems are more horizontal - just about any replacement. Jack's has some, although any 10mm will fit. Avoid those made for Yamaha as their threading is reversed for the left mirror.

 

Welcome. The mirror stems can be rotated if the lock nut at the bottom of the stem is loosened. That, and the adjustment of the mirror head should get you where you want to be. Be sure to retighten the lock nut.

 

You could get aftermarket mirrors that have longer or more angled stems, just be aware that you might have to use metric adapters on some to be able to mount them in the stock location. Another option are clamp on long stem mirrors. JCWhitney might be a place to start looking...

 

Wow! you guys are frickin fast! Thanks! I'll check out your suggestions!

 

Had the same problem. I figured out the lock nut it was easy to get them whee I cane see the road behind me.

 

I really like the mirrors in the movie Tron, the one that the lead guy had on his Ducati...they go on the end of the grips. Anyone know what they are called, or where to get them?

 

Like these? bar end mirrors for motorcycles - Google Search

 

How do those hook up? I cant tell from the pics.

 

They replace the stock bar end weights. Remove the weights and slide them inside the bars. If the weights are already gone and after market grips cover the hole in the end of the bars, you'll need to cut a hole or get some grips that are just sleeves and not closed on one end.

 

sweet thanks, I just ordered these from Amazon they're from a company called Nico.... $42 with shipping, but I won't get them till the end of February. guess they're shipping from Pluto =[

Fixed it. The color codes had it messed up.

 

I used these folding mirrors on my Kaw Z750S. They would work sweet on a Rebel.
