Mirrors - I can't see anything
Is it just me or no matter how many times you adjust the mirrors you just can't see a damned thing out of them. My bike has Renthal bars retro fitted so I wonder whether the grips etc have not be been refitted properly.

Re: Mirrors - I can't see anything
In honesty I think the Raptor mirrors are possibly the only ones that I've known to actually work! Most bikes are absolutely useless. My SV ain't too bad, but you get more elbow than view. The Rappy in comparison is marvellous.

Your Rapter looks like a sci fi robot dragon! and it breaths fire too! It singed my eye brows and boiled my eyes at the lights! smudge

Re: Mirrors - I can't see anything
My last bike was a GSX600F commuter and its mirrors were awful (so was the bike!). Could never stay in position. But the two Kawasakis (ZZR600 and GPX250) I had before that were fantastic. I have been rear ended before so a little nervous about not being able to see whats happening back there. Anyway I guess I will have to try to tweak them again!
Re: Mirrors - I can't see anything
I got a pair of extension bars (two each side) from the local bike shop.
One was LH thread, one RH so the mirrors screwed in right:

Looks good Bfef. Forgot to mention though that I have the older style round Mickey Mouse looking mirrors. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)
