Mirror Extensions are In From the Machine Shop

[Mad Matt]

I got my prototype mirror extensions in today. They work great. A huge improvement in visibility. Of course the production versions will be black!! These are raw aluminum. These install without unhooking the wires. Installation takes a few minutes per side.

:agree: it's a shame there's no way to make them slide in and out like on my F350.... now that would be sweet..... so we'd still be able to use the outside/inside storage covers that slip over the stock mirrors.

Looks sweet though.... a little black powdercoat and you're all set! :bigthumbsup:

Believe it or not but over here in Belgium we have a helmet with rear view mirror installed.
You look up and see the traffic behind, while turning your head you can overview all.
So you don't need mirrors anymore on any bike. Not cheap but very effectiv!

I was looking at those at the Indy show maybe 4 years ago. I have yet to see anyone use them here. I like the idea but I really like my flip helmet and I'm not willing to give that up. I think these extensions are going to be a must have accessory for me because the mirrors are pretty much useless the way they are now.

a solution could be an adhesive bigger mirror to put on the original.

Very interesting.

How long are they? Do they pivot to move out of the way if needed? (like a side view mirror on many cars)

Thanks

They are just an extension of the stock arms. Much cheaper and less work than making a whole new arm. :doorag:

Please let us know when they will be available. I certainly would like a set.

 

[BajaRon]

Great deal Matt! Can I get a set in Red?

I have looked at these a few times. Some write-ups say they are heavy and I've got a bit of neck issue. Don't want any unnecessary weight on it.

Some have mentioned that my brain seems to be unnecessary and the rest is ugly so I guess there are other options. :joke:

SWEET!!!!
Those extensions look like they belong!!!!
My first thought was also "do the swing out of the way" but after thinking about it, I cant think of any reason youd want to....LOL
Nice job!!!
