I just got myself an F4 & the stock mirrors won't adjust to allow me to see much of anything. I'm most interested in getting integrated mirrors,but don't want to run into issues where the mirror vibrates so badly that it's useless. Any suggestions & advice is apprciated.

 

i always get ebay mirrors till i find what i like there fairly cheap then i glue them in place when i find the sweet spot

 

"Won't adjust"?...as in, you can't get them to adjust at the base where they meet the front cowl or where the mirror mounts at the end of the post?

I use the OEM mirrors & they work fine for me.

Anyway... There have been some decent reviews here on the forum of the integrated signal mirrors from eb*y.

 

"won't adjust" as in no matter how i adjust them, i can't see behind me in the next lane, only out further to the sides. basically turning around is the only way i can see if it's safe to change lanes, not just a double check. could it be i'm too short or too fat? i sat on another F4 with aftermarket mirrors & had a much better range of vision.

 

You should always shoulder check, but my mirrors seem to give me half dececent vision when they are adjusted properly...I am 6'4 tho so I am the opposite of you sitting on your bike I guess.

 

Oh, ok. Well, here's hoping you can find a more suitable mirror for your needs.
Good luck. Let us know what you find.

 

Are you just using the movement at the mirror itself or along with at the base. Never had a issue using the stockers on my F4. Dunno how big or small you are, but have seen were large guys/gals can't see nothing but their shoulders in the stockers w/o shifting their shoulders just a bit to see. nothing wrong with just looking behind you tho and its safer than relaying on the mirrors. I mainly use the mirrors to watch the iggit cagers behind me at redlights or in the other lane.

^^^ Very interesting.

 

Yeah, I probably fall into the category of " large". I will let you know if I'm able to find something that works better. I do always look over my shoulder, but like The option of monitoring traffic with the mirrors as well. Thanks for the suggestions.
