Rear-view mirrors, dead angle

Post by hakamin »

Has anyone changed the rear-view mirrors or put in any accessories to avoid the dead angle? I've already had a couple of surprises.

In my Audi the mirrors on the outside half have a higher angle to avoid this angle, is there something like this for motorcycles?

There's something like that for bikes? Thank you.

I have those on my bikes and my car. They come in quite handy. I also upgraded my mirror stalks by adding extensions to bring them out just a bit. Now my body doesn't cover half of the view in the mirrors, like they use to.

Mirrors from a CB500 fit and extend out more. The ones I installed work great. I have no idea why Honda keeps making PCX mirrors that do not extend out far enough.

I did the same thing, and bought them from Honda Direct Line back in 2015. You can look up the bike and hit the fische for the parts & ordering. In case it helps, here’s the relevant bit from my order in 2015:
