I can see fine on my 05 mirrors. Make sure that the posts are at a 90 degree angle to the bike...in other words straight out to maximize distance.

I angle my '05 S83 mirrors 45 degrees downwards to maximize the "reach" outside my shoulders.

The S50 stalks are longer than the S83's with the same mirrors.

You do know that the mirror is mounted off center and you can turn the mirror 180 degrees. One way puts the mirror a little over an inch farther out. Makes a huge difference in what you can see.

Sheet, I got a pair for a Honda Wave, cost about $5. work just fine for position and the black color was in keeping with the theme of my 750.
Apologies for the ugly old git spoiling the pic.

I second the notion that Lechy has "the Fonz look"....plus Lechy you look like an experienced "seasoned" rider, and someone that would help a fellow rider.
