The only reason I've left as supplied - half see behind, hafl see my shoulders, but at least with stock I can filter fairly easily with only the odd stop and crawl through narrow gaps between larger vehicles.

When I need to see behind I turn my head round.
Works a treat and costs nothing.
Head comes screwed on already so no need to worry about what thread my neck is. :lol:
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

At rider training they take all the mirrors off to force trainees to use their head principally while of course they also know a significant number will drop the bikes smashing them. One of the advanced courses demands that you remove mirrors or bag them. Having said that if you are going to use them standard configuration is far from useful.

You take them off or tape them over on track days too to avoid being distracted by what's behind you
