Flipping Mirrors Under The Handlebars?

Has anyone figured out a way to flip the mirrors so they're under the handlebars? I'm not a big fan of bar end mirrors or how they sit on the bike now. It looks as if it would be pretty tricky to pull this off, but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!

As said before, just get those 1" clamps and put them on the handlebar. But be careful you dont buy shitty ones like I did, both did break into two pieces. I got them from amazon for ca 7 Euros...
Fixed them both with fast glue and duct tape.

Or you can combine new clamps with the stock ones on the rebel, but i didnt do that since i thougth it was too difficult for me, but someone in this forum did it.

the visibility is worse. i've done both, but went back to the normal setup so I could see more. you can get used to looking downwards to see and i admit the bike "looks" better with them underneath, but it's not worth it to me to have a more limited line of sight.

Hi all
I brought 1inch by 10mm mirror clamps on eBay. I removed the rear clamp on the brake and clutch clamps and fitted the mirror clamp 1/2 in there place.
With some careful fitting the mirrors miss the tank by 5mm and I no longer see my arms in the mirrors. They look straight over my saddle bags. The overall height is 6 inches lower.
Very happy with this mod.
