Warm SS tip...

[3narf]

RVF400 (NC35) mirrors are exactly the same as SSie ones. I just got some off ebay for £8.50.

Not a hot tip, as they are just as crap as the ones fitted, and I still can't see out of the LH one. It just points to the ground, and no, the subframe ISN'T bent. The LH mirrors simply don't have enough upwards adjustment to be any use at all (though the RH ones are OK for some reason). How does everyone else get around this? In fact, how does everyone get on with the riding position as a whole? I'm giving serious thought to modifying the fairing so I can fit a Monster top yoke and flat bars, it would be a superb, practical bike then. I must be getting old, stuff like this never used to bother me...

RH mirrors usually wear out quicker, 'cos you use them more!

I wouldn't go the route of iconic as it looks too out of place on an SS. I partially solved the problem by adding small round convex mirrors to the upper right and left corners of both mirrors. Although the image is smaller, I don't have to move my arm out of the way to keep my pursuers in sight and the give a broader side view of the next lanes. THen again, you could go retro and put on bar-end mirrors. Oh yeah, the mirrors I used stick on to the original mirror surface and they can then be rotated to get the best view. The rotation option makes them a little more flexible for different riding positions (full tank bag, no tank bag, etc.)
