| I also got the Ebay mirror extenders Dennis posted. Ordered last Saturday and they arrived by Monday. After one week using them I really like them. Now I can see who is behind me on both mirrors, and by being able to set the mirrors a bit more outwards it even expanded the field of vision to the sides eliminating some of the blind spots especially between 6 and 8 on the dial. An added benefit like buddy19520 says is that now the mirrors won't hit the Givi Clearview windshield. At $24 and change they are worth every penny. |

| I just received mine today after ordering them on ebay on Sunday. They were shipped from the town I live in and it cost me about $8.00 to ship. If they would have given me their address I could have rode over.
Anyway, I'm going to install them tomorrow and ride to work on Thursday. I will give a short review of them when I get to ride. It is raining today and tomorrow. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| Hi, I installed my extentions yesterday and went for a ride, and they are great. I can see past my extra stud-ly (  ) shoulders. They really do help and I wonder why I didn't do this before. I was going to take pictures on how I did it but it was so so easy that it would have taken longer to look at the pictures then it would take to just go out and do the work. Great product. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| Dennis,
I've got those same extensions on my swing for about 6 mos. now. They do a great job of looking around your shoulders. I am interested in where you found that cool looking OAT guage you have mounted on top of the front brake reservoir. Nice looking install ! Thanx.

| tankyuoung,
I live in the same city where they were mailed from. I had to pay $8 instead of being able to just ride over to get them. So that is probably why I got mine so quick. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.
