Mirrors

[Golgother]

Hey All

I'm looking for mirrors for my 98 Storm that are longer than standard so I can see past my portly frame.

I have looked at mirror extenders,extending the standard mirrors and bar end mirrors.

Are there any longer mirrors from other bikes that will fit ? If so how much longer ?

Cheers
Matt

Yamaha R1 abit lower and wider, IMO a big improvement .

Hey All

Thanks for the replies.

Does the R1 mirror replace the complete Storm mirror assembly or is a part used ?

Dumb question........ What does 4XV meen ?...........

its the 1998/9 model year R1. however the mirrors in the photo are od 2000-2003 vintage. same spacing but longer stalks then the earlier version due to a smaller fairing.

I'm sold. they look bang on. Do they give a much better view?

I'm sick of being paranoid looking for the blue flashing buggers!!

Ta matey.....

Yes they look just the job to me

They do give a better view if you have clip ons but having renthals counteract any advantage as you have a wider stance on the bars .
4xv or 5jj sorry :-(
