Mirrors

Suggestions please on how to improve the the view from the stock mirrors.
After adjusting them several times now I am unable to see whats behind
other than my shoulders, I have seen bar end mirrors but wondered if anyone
had tried them or if there is another solution to this problem.

 

Longer mirror bars off ST seems to be the answer will have a look back and find the thread for you Rowly

D600 mirrors on 675 They you go Mate

 

Hi Jap, just checked the thread very good pics, great advice, thanks a lot mate

 

Yep I can see more in the n/s than the o/s, rather strange don't you think.
I cant say my torso is any different from one side to the other I may have
to check in the mirror tomorrow, thats the wardrobe mirror

 

Same mirror but slightly longer stem, having done it now - would not go back the difference is remarkable and I believe safer, the stock ones are next to useless for my elbows/position. Just my thoughts/work.

 

I've noticed that I seem to be able to see more using my N/S mirror. I just presumed that I had got my ns mirror set right and I have more work to do getting the other one right.

but now I learn that I'm a freak like the rest of you and and have a thin left side or a fat right one (I wonder if there is anything I'm doing with my right arm that would bulk it up more than the left?!)

 

I would tend to agree JDB, from the safety point, as you say the stock ones
are pretty useless, but from an aesthetic view I'm not so sure, I think Triumph
realize that they had a problem when their designers created this fantastic
narrow beast and the smaller stems for the 675 was the way to go to keep
with the overhaul style of the bike, but not taking from your suggestion its
a great solution to the problem and I will duly consider this conversion.
Thanks everyone for ideas and input

 

I must be normal then cause Ive got two fat sides

 

Glad the info was of use Rowly, I tend to just check for flashing blue lights in mine the rest is just a "blur" :evil: :twisted:

 

Jap, we wont have to worry about plod anymore as we are guaranteed a Royal pardon.

 

Not sure about that Rowly Would be nice though if he could pull a few strings
