The other day I saw someone mention mirror extenders and thought that was a pretty neat idea so I found some on ebay and ordered them.

I got them in the mail today and they popped on in about 10 minutes. I have yet to ride with them because it's windier than a liars convention out there today and I just didn't want to mess with it. They do bring the mirrors up about an inch and out about 1½ inches. The specs say 1½" and 2" respectively, but it just falls short of that. I will give a better review of them after I've ridden with them once or twice but they look pretty close to OEM colors and it appears as though I can see better behind me. Time will tell.

The price was right!

I've just fitted a pair almost identical to those, but with s/steel bolts. Bought off ebay from a guy called gascapdude in San Jose CA. Cost me £17 shipped. Great improvement, now I'm not looking at my shoulders in the mirrors!
Had a first ride out yesterday (A sunny 60 degrees!) to try them out - great!

Hi smorkle,

If you have time, replace the screws with 2 stainless steel 10mm screws. Works better with no rust to look at over time. Just something to think about.

I would love to see Dennis B make these- would be top quality and we wouldn't have to worry about fit and finish! Hint Hint!

I also bought mine from gascapdude on eBay. Great quality and all stainless.

I bought these same extenders and paid $6.95 for shipping and it took almost 2 weeks for me to get them. The funny thing is that they shipped from Fremont, California...the same city I live in. I would rather of just rode over to them and picked them up and saved the shipping. But I guess that wasn't possible.

But they work great and I'm glad I bought them. One of them has turned a bronze color and the other one is still black. But it adds character and if these are the only ones where 1 is bronze and the other is black then if I ever sell the SWing it should be a collectors item.

Jeff & Bigbird, I also put a pair of these on. You order them because they are Black and look great but after one season turn Bronze. It's a sun thing. Took them off this Winter, they were still Black on the bottom. Light sanding and a easy re-paint will take care of it. I let gascapdude know what was going on........you know how that went.

The turning bronze hasn't happened to me. My Swing is always garaged whenever it's not on the road. Even if they turned bronze, I wouldn't care. They do what I need them to do, and they don't rust.

Both of mine are bronze now. Looks odd, but it's not rust, and they work.

I keep mine garaged too but the one turned bronze quick. It doesn't bother me at all since they are very inexpensive but do a great job. I never have to adjust my mirrors either.

Much more simple solution----get pr of CB750 mirrors ('69 and on). Dennis Kirk has.

Many mirror problems----with lots of winter clothes on you see self.

Use CB mirrors in winter, stock in summer.

And that's a much more simple solution?

The mirror extensions not only let you see around yourself regardless of what type clothing you are wearing, they also let you see around your pillion as well.
For they price, one of the TOP additions you can get for your Swing! billc.

And they look good too !

The mirror extenders I got are made of painted aluminum. The bolts are regular bolts, but they're painted as well so I'm not overly worried about them rusting. If the thing starts looking weathered and worn I'll pull it off and give it the Krylon touch.

I finally got to rid today and tried out my mirror extenders. They were OK, but I didn't see any significant difference with them. I didn't feel like i could suddenly see better, they're just in a different place than they used to be.

I was wrong about the bolts though, they are just standard metal, not painted. I think I'm going to pull them off and paint the heads of them to prevent rust.

Thanks for the reviews & links guys; I just ordered my pair.

That go dido from me. I ordered mine Saturday. Should be here sometime this week.
