If your mirrors aren't doing anything, than you need new mirrors. The only pro is maybe you lose a bit a wind resistance... which only matters if you are tracking. Cons: Can't see behind you, cops will nail you for it, just plain dangerous imo. Personally, when I see a bike with no mirrors that clearly isn't a track bike, I think squid.
If all you see is elbows, get a set of bar end mirrors.

Thanks for the comments... I have listened and decided they should stay! I like mirrors and i agree they save lives etc etc...
Its just that I find them difficult at best to see anything out of except my arms lol
I do lile that extender that goes in between bike and mirrors... that may be the way to go I think...
ECheers guys... clear roads...
Edit... I think I'm going to couple the extenders with a small round blind spot mirror on each mirror... photos to follow when upload is working.
I saw a bike with a tall 'chips' style s teen today and he had a stick on rear view mirror front and centre on his screen... looked like it really worked! Don't think the screen would look right on a CBR though ha ha

Just get other honda models' mirror that's longer than F4i. I saw in 250R forum somewhere that the 250R and F4i mirrors are compatible (might need a bit drilling tho, i'm not sure) I think 2012 CBR250R mirror is a bit longer that F4i.

What I mean is to add a little stick on mirror disk to help me to see... surely those wont make a bolted extender/mirror combo break?
I will look into longer too before I make my choice...
