Are your mirrors too short?

See what I noticed one day...?
I had to go to those horrible billet mirror "extenders" in order to see behind me on my Forza. They look like Chinese add-on cr_p.
Then I noticed that the mirrors on my son's CBX500 Honda were exactly like mine - but with a longer stem!
I ordered a pair of the X mirrors and lived happily ever after.
So, there you go.

mirror extenders or cb500 mirrrs are great if you have the old style forza. no use with 2018 models onward.

I bought some BikeMaster black mirror extenders from Cycle Gear ($22.) made from aluminum, very well made for my 2021 ADV150. They work perfectly, I can see behind me, and barely see my elbows in my mirrors.

I've got a Forza NSS300 2018 and I'm not boasting ,but the mirrors are ten times better than the ones I see on this thread
I didnt realise for a month , that my mirrors can FOLD IN when parked
I knocked the scooter into a fence by mistake as I was parking at home one day, the nearest mirror FOLDED IN and then I realised that you can fold them in : SUPERB!! so now I always fold my mirrors in at parking time, I love that

Fairing mounted mirrors are cool....unless they're too short to see clearly behind you.
Then what's your fix for that?
Sit the bike - and buy something else if they're not working for you.
Mirrors with posts have a fix.
