    Default Mirror Issues

    The stock mirrors on my F3-S won't open wide enough to get a good sight picture of my blind spot on both sides. Any options like bar end mirrors out there that someone has tried?

    Lamonster Garage has handlebar mounted mirrors and turn signals that replace your stock mirrors. They work very well. Much better site lines.

    I put adjustable blind spot mirrors on my F3S. They help quite a bit. I'll try to shoot a picture.

    I went to their website and didn't "recognize" any bar end mirrors? Did I miss something or am I looking for the wrong thing? Pics would be awesome so I can see where they are mounted. I was thinking of the simple round mirrors mounted to the bar ends themselves, like the ones seen on café bikes. Not sure if they will work with our bar ends.

    And you like the way they work? That's what I was thinking, but wanted opinions on the subject. Thanks!

    Lamonster Handlebar Mounts and Muth signal mirrors. Worked for me and put the mirrors where I think they should be.

    Just incase you don't know the whole mirror bracket does move quite a bit on the F3S and Base.

    I added bar end mirrors to remove the blind spot. Lamonster's mirror are on the bars like they should be on a motorcycle, plus you are not distracted by having to look at two sets of mirrors. I think his mirrors and turn signals should be standard.
