Which mirrors ?

Post by templ8 »

Want to sort my mirrors, fed up with seeing my elbows :thumbdown:

Which setup is best ?

Don't really want spacers, would prefer to fit a different mirror with longer arms

Cheers

R1/R6 are a hell of an improvement. You might have to make some spacers to go on the bolts to stop you crushing the fairing otherwise go straight on.

R1 fit straight on. I got a set and fitted the with the feet & rubber boots from a pair of Storm mirrors. They do give a much wider view but sit lower.

Personally I didn't like the look so took them off.

For sale if you want them £20 they cost me + whatever the postage is.

I cleaned mine, could see my elbows great after that :clap:

Doesn't bother me having to tuck my elbow in to take a look behind, no bother.
