Default Interesting Extendable Mirrors

Saw these and they appear to be Okay looking IMO

I got wide shoulders and the 1990 1000F mirrors are pretty much useless to
me!

Great idea and it sounds like your money would be well spent. The guy selling them is the inventor and is himself a sports bike rider. Wins all around!

The mirrors could also be tucked away fairly easily for parking in lots and such where peope may be prone to bumping into your bike. I don't really have a problem with my mirrors, but I do know how frustrating it can be to not get a good view in them! Interested to know how well they work.

they look much like factory honda mirrors; the adjustability might be nice to have

I got a pair of these about a month ago, I could only see my shoulders on my 929rr with aftermarket (close to stock) mirrors. These are GREAT!

I can see on both sides, they are adjustable in/out and up/down, and they can be brought in for close in parking.

In my opinion, every sport bike should come with these stock.

Yep they did I had a little grinding to do with the mount to make them fit
the 1990 but I liked them so much in the end I bought a second set and I
got a nice discount too !

The second set for the 1993 just bolt straight on no issues.

They are imo worth every penny !

I'll do a review when I get back from holidays / vacation.

edit : I'd say if enough Guys wanted these a group discount might be
able to be discussed with John VanderSlik too potentially !

Cheers Sprock, will look at getting some as the mickey mouse mirrors on mine are hopeless.

I'll look forward to the review when your ready. just one thing, could ya be so good as to mention any vibration issues.

The last pair I got for my last bike made everything look so darn blurred, it made life interesting trying guess if you had a car, van or truck behind ya..hehe.

Cheers, Andy
