RT Mirrors - Options?

[VegasDan]

I noticed something when I drove the RT Spyder before dropping my deposit - I am not a fan of the mirrors.
They seem to have a small field of view (which I saw there are convex stick on "fixes" for that), but they also seemed very low.
In the upright seating position of the RT - the mirrors are at (or below) elbow height; from a 2 wheel background; I am a bit more accustomed to shoulder height.

Are there any after market methods to raise the mirrors?
I understand - shut up and ride it for a while first until you figure out whether it is really a problem...

But it won't be here until March or April and until then - All I have to do is wait and wonder.

And if I hate the mirrors in their current configuration - I can 3d print up some mirror delete panels and then mount some stalked mirrors higher; but I was wondering if anyone had already taken this step?

Yes. Search on rt mirrors. Also, check these out https://saeng.com/product/quick-scans/

You can buy Top Cuffs and Mirrors from LaMonster.

Or you can build your own - DIY.
Here is the Amazon mirror mount extension that I used.

I drilled and tapped 10MM mounting holes in my OEM top cuffs.
I have 2 different style mirrors I'm previewing for fit and function.

Give those "low" mirrors a chance. The "under-handlebar" mirrors are pretty much standard on (2-wheel) tupperwared sport bikes and sport-tourers. The mirrors on my old ST1100 are actually lower, relative to handlebar position, than the ones on my 2014 RT, and after about 2 weeks of getting used to it, I thought they were much better than the high mirrors on my Ascot VT500. Of course, that might have been due to the difference in vibration level from a V-twin to a much better balanced V4. :sour:
