dewski Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I hate looking at my shoulders but not sure I want to do bar end mirrors yet.

jerryv Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Need to check that out .. our mirrors need to migrate right and left .. if this does the job, I'd get it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmucat Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I agree our mirrors need to be extended more out to the sides. This may do the job, but I dont like it. Wish there was just a bolt you could put inline with the diagonal mirror rod. I tried looking but its an odd size and unable to find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ralph Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I don't fancy anything wider than the bars for getting through traffic but it's surprising how much you can see through the org ones if you adjust them down so the long top edge is level, they seem to come with them pointing up a fair bit.

stefano225 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I tried bending them down but didn't solve the problem ,I still couldn't see behind over my shoulders that why I need higher mirrors set up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Ha get it now don't think I've ever had a bike that I could see over my shoulders through the mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefano225 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Well I received my mirrors extenders few days ago,and this morning I decided to install them,to my surprise the bolts and mounts that I ordered are both right hand thread .So i just send an email to seller requesting an exchange for one of the mount/bolt.One thing I notice is you can extend them by loosing up the bolts and unscrewing mirror giving the rider a 1/4 inch out and a 1/4 inch up I included some pics so you can understand what I am trying to say ,not much but could help a little for some riders.Going to take bike out to see if visibility improved at all.

Good tip, but are they still holding firm without vibrations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotaryryan24 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Just a heads up to you guys running the wider taller mirror extinctions. The clutch side mount is a little on the weak side. If it does break, your clutch will not be attached to the handle bars. My WR250X had a very similar mount and I went through 2 mounts before I just removed that mirror. I'm not saying that it will fail, just keep an eye on the mount for cracks. You do or don't Then your dead.

stefano225 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Well I just got back from a 35 miles ride (weather is in the 60's today ) and I must say that for me it was a great improvement,I can actually see cagers behind me .Did not experience any vibrations on the mirrors(the only vibrating things I see are those two oranges ) So now I got to find some black spacers 1/4 inch high in 10 mm diameter.If you're experiencing same problem I suggest give that a try before buying extenders,just make sure everything is tight .

shadow07 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I've found that if you pull swing them closer to you completely then adjust only the top mirror portion out they have much better visibility angle with a lot less shoulder ...

jphelps27703 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I got those same Mirror Extenders off Ebay for my new FZ-07. They work well and were a snap to install (left and right threaded). Now I can see what's behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfredyb Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hey Everybody, I'm a wider guy and look like Donkey Kong in MarioKart on the bike but I did exactly what Shadow07 suggested and it worked. Just play around with the mirrors a bit before feeling like you need to buy extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow07 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 IMO - due to the versatility of this bike , freeway tuck , cruisin, lane splittin, twisties, city mashin,long rides, shirt rides ,whatever , your riding style and positioning is constantly transitioning . In regards to angles , distancing from bars , arm position , hand position ,back position, amped , fatigued , backpack , free as bird , I could never have my eyes stuck in a certain location . As it was previously stated I would weaken the base of the mirrors down the line ( IMO again ) . FYI my garage is a little cramped right now so I have to swing mirrors in flush everytime so I have got acquainted with them pretty well now . Yes down the line I would like to upgrade them so there not so bulky looking but for now ....? peace guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoloswaggins Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think the stock mirrors are perfect. I'm not a small guy and have pretty broad shoulders and I can see behind me fine. I think the mirrors look good, bar ends don't really go well with this bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jphelps27703 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I got a set of those off eBay and they work great. Now I can see what's behind me much better. Easy to install--just remember there is a left and right with opposite threading. jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
