How to replace the stems on a sportster mirror?
I found these long stems for mirrors for my sportster but I was wondering if I could get away with these instead of buying a whole new mirror. Can I replace the old stems with these ones or do I need a whole new mirror with the longer stems on them. Here they are, thanks for the help.

If your stock mirror is a clamp-on type, then yes, you can switch it over pretty easily from the stock stem to the new one. If your stock mirror is the “captured ball swivel” type, then you have to replace the whole unit. The other side of the coin is that if you have to replace the whole thing you can put the mirrors on one of the many online sales boards (there’s always somebody that has dumped their bike and needs new stock mirrors and replace them on the cheap) and, no, you won’t get full price, but 1/2 to 2/3 still defrays the total cost you had to lay out. No downside there.
