Mirror extenders

Mr Lefty · 01-31-2009, 03:27 AM

I had a pair on my ZZR for my indy trip... they fuck'n rocked. the mirrors weren't horrible before... but I was amazed what an 1" extension could do...
They'll be one of the first things I put on my new bike.

I got them from Twisted Throttle... they make some for many different models of bikes...

I know Smilie was interested... here's what the ones for his 636 looks like

Definately a good mod for a sportbike for sure!!

This was my idea for my mirrors...

JARVIS518 · 02-01-2009, 11:36 PM

do these make it easier to collapse the mirror?

Mr Lefty · 02-02-2009, 12:10 AM

no... they don't make it any harder... but I'm only speaking for my ZZR... the RR it looks as though it creates another joint... so who knows...

I don't know how the mirrors are for the RR... but I really liked the extra range of my ZZR's extensions...

on my 06 RR the mirrors are very stiff which make it hard to fold them, but by looking at the pics the joint should make it a lot easier

you could try looseing the bolt and get some graphite powder and spray in there... should help.

these are more just to allow you to not have to move your elbows or head to see behind ya...

Great link, I find that I usually have to move my body or arms around in order to check my mirrors. I think a small extension could make a big different. Thanks for posting up Ebbs.

If it ever warms up enough to ride ever again i'll know how they work on the buell...

thanks ebbs
