Barna Mirror extenders

He actually used my bike to make them and take that picture.
At first I didn't ride with them, because I thought they looked dorky.
I was actually using them to fill the space in my wifes ZZR 250 battery compartment, because I mounted a smaller battery.


When I got her a new battery they were laying around, so I mounted them.

Am I happy I did.

These things to look dorky, but damn do they work nice.
I have a clear view behind me now.

Now I can see the cops behind me.

I got em' and they work great. Comfort of ride is always first and foremost over looks to me. Now I just tuck my shoulder in a tad and I can see directly behind me. Nice to see when other riders are coming up on you so you can get out da way.

I bought them & I don't know if he sent me the wrong ones or not but they are not even close to the same size as the mirror base. Would someone mind taking a picture for me so I can see what they look like installed?

Same thing happened to me when he brought them over.
Try changing left for right and right for left.
Because the rubber boot deforms when you tighten the bolts, you have to mold them into shape before you screw them down.

Here if I did this right. I just got a new laptop and learning how this one works. You know the egg heads. They always have to change things that work fine to begin with.

OK, the mirror extenders are fine, my bike has aftermarket mirrors which explains why the extenders do not fit the shape of the base. Looks like I will be selling my extenders I just bought.

I bought them but removed them immediately, donīt like the look. I like my FZ1 mirrors much better.
