Sure. Don't get carried away, though. I moved mine once, and it affected my transmission. I guess it was stretching a cable, or something. Also, When I raised mine, it resulted in terrible back pain. I was really surprised. I thought it would help.
I lowered mine with no problems.
Put mine as far forward as would the OEM allow. Love it. Better reach and I don't get cramps in my hands. I have 3T which means I moved the meat into the mirror field. Can't see anything unless I duck or stretch. I put a set of bar end mirrors on which I like a lot (they dampen vibrations).
Thank you All for the feedback.
u probably already know but just in case: make sure that all cables are easily moving while your moving handle bar - some of them are rather short and are tied really tight to handle bar and further down in bike and offer very little relief. Pulling them can break them loose from there end or handlebar connection.
Loosening some may be as simple as removing a zip tie. You will see when you look closely.
What are them mirrors called or the the make of them, been looking for something like that for a while.
