Had the chance to test mine properly. They're superb, transforming the rear view. Previously I got a good look at my arms but now I can see all I need. I'm 6'2", quite broad & don't see the need for 3" extensions. However my bike has Renthal bars so those with standard or other bars may feel differently.

I've been thinking about bsabloke's extenders and if they had a hole drilled through the centre of them, they could be used for aftermarket mirrors with built in indicators. Take the GSXR ones for example. Cut the mounting off them, cut a slice of the bottom, drill a hole and they would mount straight onto bsabloke's extenders and the indicator wires could run through the centre. :think:

I run gixr mirrors with no extenders and I can see clearly into my past. I even wired them and my led turn sigs to be running and turn sigs. The day I put them on it seemed everyone got out of my way in traffic from Queens to Manhattan.

Thanks kev.
I wonder how long thaese have been sold for. I have seen their website before.
The only reason i made my own was because there were non forsale elsewhere. & just being a tight git, I didn't want more expense buying different mirrors.
A bit pricey these but i like the look of the anodised finish. Something to look into.

I'll be up for a set but will have to wait till the end of the month as I've spent up already. If these have sold by then will you be making any more?
Cheers Ian.

Chris did you put all the original washers back in at the base on the original mirror fixing on the fairing. It's a tight fit but if you get all these in as well as the extender you should not be getting any vibrations. As for angle, set them to whatever is best for you, just make sure that everything is done up tight. :thumbup:

hi chric
sorry to hear you are getting vibration on your mirrors. I have mine set not quite straight. but I don't think it matters. is anything loose? is the rubber gasket fitted inbetween the mirror & the fairing? even if all washers aren't fitted, there shouldn't be a problem, as long as everything is tight. I am only using the dome washer on the bottom. my only problem was not being able to tighten one mirror up good. the cheese material was crap. threads repaired now all ok.
let us know if all is ok.
5 more sets of extenders under construction.
