Re: mirrors
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.

Re: mirrors
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.

Re: 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.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

Re: mirrors
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.BRONX INTRUDER wrote:Nice pic. Haha.
