Mirror Wideners

[RIDEMYST]

I need to widen my mirrors to get my shoulders out of my view.
I found a set on Twisted Throttle (a trusted source) but they are a whopping $80!
I also found a set on EBay for $19, a BIG difference.
I know you usually get what you pay for but these are two extremes.
Anyone had experience with either product? -JEP-

BTW - I read the thread on mirror left hand vs right hand mirror screws.

Sometimes in life you get what you pay for, not in this case, I highly doubt that the TT version will protect your bike in a tip over, so go with the $19 version, I did that for my V Strom and am waiting for my S10 set to arrive. $80!! Jeez! ::009::

Just make sure you read the small print and like you already know, the right hand left thread.

There a few threads about this...the general consensus is the eBay mirror extenders are just fine and the name brand ones are way too expensive.

I got a set from a site called Luckybike.com and have been pleased with them. I think they were less than $30.00 shipped.

Thanks guys for the info.
I ordered a set of the 10mm wideners from "luckybiker" with one right & one left hand thread for $19.
I figure that they can break 4 times before I break even (pun intended). -JEP-

You can just extend the straight mirror stalk. This is regular right hand thread. You can use a threaded spacer and a cut off bolt, or make a "stand off" like I did.

I also bought the Lucky Bike extenders a while back. Happy with purchase, even fastener is of decent quality. I guess I "lucked" out @ $9.95 & free shipping.
