Mirros for Daytona Bars?

[posplayr]

I use these with some convex mirrors, and shock isolators. There are some Napoleon knock offs around that are under $30 a pair. I cant abide by bar end mirrors.

For me this is much less stress watching behind.

What do you mean they work? The mirrors on my bike still reflect images however i am only seeing my shoulders these days.

It looks like quite a few here don't have a problem with the stock mirrors. There were short and long stem varieties available, maybe yours are the short stems version. I know the frustration, I rode with an "S" fairing and mirrors for a few years, truly awful.

Actually took the bike our to take care of some things and adjusted the stems a bit and then the mirrors and I could actually see behind my self. Wohoo. Not much but enough.

I found these to extend the mirrors out. I think I will see if I can buy a cheaper set but if not these will give me a much better view behind me.

I've used these on two bikes (GS 650 GL and Kawi ZN1100). Work great, cheap, but rust if not waxed. Blur at high speeds. Don't have to look at my shoulders anymore!

Pretty much the same thing here. I always had this problem on my GL too and I always figured it was the mirrors. Nope. It was because the PO put on Daytona bars! I put daytonas on the 1100E and now the same problem.

Not much we can do. Lane splitting is a priority for me too. That and gas mileage is how I justify it as a tool rather than a toy. LOL. But seriously, I might just go back to taller bars. Are you sure it is your shoulder and not your elbows?

Not sure if the bars I have are daytonas, but all I see now are my shoulders too.

Go to Amazon.com, search for "motorcycle mirror risers". About $17ish for a pair, and it looks like you have to be careful about the direction of the thread. I'm going to try these soon.

I bought some of these when I went Daytona on my L:

They do seem a bit more prone to vibration than the stock lollipops, probably because they're lighter. One of these days I'll have to see if I can load some weight onto them and improve that (maybe BB's and caulk?). Still, it's a shaky view of what's behind me and not just my shoulders! The stems are roughly the same length, but angle out more. Maybe not the best view, but...

I'm pretty sure these are the ones I got. On the 80GS1100E with Daytona bars I see my elbows a bit. On my L bike with same bars I saw more of my shoulders.
