safety over fashion:

Can't see real well with them because they are so small. Just wondering how the visibility is with those mirrors you have? Also do they vibrate around while driving or are they pretty rigid?
the oberon clamp on mirrors are garbage positioned below the handle bar. its too bad as it looks pretty awesome.
i tried them hanging low and pointing out but my hand blocked my view. if the stem was twice as long i could have them hang down and point inwards but im not sure if oberon sells longer stems. will need to research that.
for now they are above the handle bars and pointing out and they work great. they are compact and they do vibrate, but so does everything else on this bike.
i take this whole posting back. after almost clipping a few cars while splitting lanes i decided that i would spend the time finding the sweat spot having full functioning mirrors while turned down below my handlebars. after a little while fussing around with the oberons i was able to find the spot. now i have fashion and function but most importantly safety.
the trick is to have the mirrors clamped and turn towards you rather than having them perpendicular with the road.
