opinion on 1" riser

[BRPjunkie]

Thanks bjt. That was my guess since your arms are still in the same relative position with respect to the mirrors. Riding bikes for 35-40 years, I like to know what's happening behind me, but statistics show that 77% of crashes occur from the front, 16% from the sides and only 7% from the rear. With the round spot mirrors in the corner, rear view is better and for now I can live (I hope) without the mirror extensions.

I have my mirrors adjusted so they just ketch the end of my handlebar grip and hand in the lower inside corner. I can see both to my blind side and behind me with this configuration.

LOVE my mirror extensions

I have the 1" riser without the mirror extensions. I put 2" adjustable spot mirrors on the rearviews and that helped quite a bit. Will put on the extesions in the near future. :thumbup:

I seem to be the only one who doesn't like the 1" riser. I found there to be no difference and still get a burning in my shoulders.
