so just picked up my 05 firstorm.... have been off bikes for a few years but have found the mirrors on the storm to be very hard to get set up for any sort of descent viewing...... granted i am on the large (massive) side.... but i dont remember my previous bikes being so hard to see out of the mirrors.
Anyone got any suggestions for better mirrors or how to get better viewing?

You can buy extened bases to suit,or go the r6/r1 01 mod, I think fits.

I don't find them too bad but 12 months ago I would have only seen guts and elbows  So you can either extend your mirror mounts or shrink your body and find a new lease of life and an extra 20hp lol |

I use bar end mirrors. They are only small but offer a better view and more adjustability.  These are cheapie s for an ATV from E Bay and do the job for me. |

The other you'll never look back  No surgery, pills or tricks. Just determination to follow through on a promise. 60kg in 12 months. But I'm off topic sorry. |
