R100RS Mirror Extenders

[Duncan]

Hi. Does anyone know whether it's possible to buy mirror extenders for an R100RS?

I'm hoping for a spacer block of some sort rather than fitting different mirrors.

Thanks

Fed up of looking at your shoulders? I was looking for something when I had an RS, the problem was to get the standard mirrors to work would have needed a ridiculously long block putting underneath the mirror mount. I don't think there's a way of having working mirrors using the standard ones.

I looked into this a while back when I had my mates one in the shop. There is nothing out there off the shelf (or rather there wasn't back then, not sure now, but highly unlikely would have thought) and as Rob says the only real alternative was to replace entirely, or fabricate something.

We didnt do it in the end as wanted to keep OEM as much as possible, so matey just made do with doing more over the shoulder checks. I rode it a few times, and personally didn't think it was so bad, at least compared to the several Jap crotch rockets I had owned (Fireblade, Gixxer etc etc etc) where ever present shoulders in the mirrors are quite normal....even my HP2 sport was like that and that had long mirror arms as well....

I ended up having to twist out of the way every time I wanted to use the mirrors. Not the best option.
