Wider Mirrors...no more shoulders
03/25/18 at 16:00:06

Got tired of seeing my shoulders, took a chance on these, Under $25 bucks. They are threaded correctly for S-40, good compression type fittings like stock. Only about 1 1/2 inch longer stem and mirror is maybe 1/2 inch wider. That's all it takes!

I got black ones to go with my shaded windshield, but black or chrome it's money well spent. Nicer shape than stock square things IMHO. Plastic mirror case is pretty heavy duty but for the price I would do them once a year instead of windshield wipers. Grin

Ordered on Monday arrived Thursday Priority box.

And they would still be square and ugly IMHO.

I just kept looking at all the fleabay stuff...rh thread, 10mm, all kinds of goofy descriptions from offshore.

This guy probably buys them cheap too. My only point in posting was good quality, reasonable, looks good, and THEY WORK, no more shoulders. A discussion that appears from time to time here.

I'm prolly gonna pull the trigger on these sometime this year. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/oval-chrome-mirrors-aluminum-10mm-EMARK-for-Suzuk...

As you said, no more shoulders in the picture! They look good too. Thanks again.

Thumper's on the back of the motorhome again after a month in Daytona. Maybe off this weekend...will try. Very little vibration, and a nice aerodynamic head shape.

It's not so much the mirror size as that the mounting stems are just a bit wider.

You can actually see right behind you at a glance. I know I hated the stocks, but after looking with these you will think your previous riding was just plain dangerous! Yes there really is that much difference with only a few inches of stem length. JMHO... yours may be different.

Interested in how much they extend the width beyond the ends of the handlebars. I have the stock Suzi drag bars.
