Honda VTR 1000 mirrors

I own a 1998 Honda VTR 1000 bike. Has anyone a relatively cheap solution
to the mirrors which really only show arms and shoulders and not the
road behind. Otherwise the bike rocks.

never knew such items existed, could be usefull for my f4i

 

Alot get made by enthusiastic owners. If in doubt just make up your own
pattern and get longer bolts.

A mate of mine made the same thing, except he used some solid 25mm
thick rubber instead of plastic.

 

I had the same problem on a Ducati 851, the original hand-built thing
had useless mirrors down low. All I could see were my knees.

I just got some of those convex mirror thingies that widen your view.
They helped immensely.

You had the widest knees in Taswegia?

 

Widest beer gut I reckon . . .

But seriously, look where they put the mirrors on the bloody thing.

The next model (the red one) had the mirrors up higher in the
conventional position. Didn't look as cool but at least you could see
behind.

 

Some aftermarket mirrors might help. A pair of these, for instance:
