Been meaning to ask what mirrors actually let you see whats behind you. All I can see with the stock mirrors is my elbows. Maybe its because I'm tall with spider monkey arms.

Please no hundred dollar plus mirrors.

Bar end mirrors - but you have to look pretty far down

 

[michaelwood]

I just tuck my elbows in...

 

[Crnac]

I have the same problem..

 

[v-tec crx]

Mirror extendors look bad IMO - I would rather bend out my arm

 

[djentangle]

yeah my elbows cover about half my mirror so usually i just twist my elbow up alittle and I can see through under my armpit. kinda hard to describe.. but for the most part I head check anyways..

PLUS 1 on :+1:tucking those elbows,



your mirrors will let you see behind you, you have to adjust them correctly, then tuck your elbow to get a wider view,

or try these,

I only have one mirror, I mainly just use it to watch ppl coming up behind me at stop lights... the rest of the time I head check

 

[fire41aj]

Same issues here. Agree, Head check... Ride Safe, AJ

 

[DepPravacion]

ahhh i cant see when i put my hands over my eyes!!!!

-move your hands

ahh there thats a lot better!

head check, move your arms, move your body whatever it is that you have to do.

youre riding a motorcycle, not riding in the back of a cadillac
meaning its not all comfy, gotta do some work and moving around sometimes

 

[Hizel4Shizzle]

I have short ass arms. Still have to bend em. Bend away or try bar end mirrors

:+1: I know what the hell.

a simple and cheap alternative is move your head slightly to the left or right and you'll be able to see what ever you need to. it's really not a big deal.

Haha Grab some rizoma mirrors. They extend farther and look sick. Buddy of mine has em

I had same problem took 20 times it seemed like just to get it right, and everytime you think you got it you get going and damn cant see. Keep adjusting you'll eventually get it.

blind spot mirror's

 

[Jessebeachusmc]

mirrors = -1 for the po-po

 

[bebo421]

I have the same problem but i bought GSXR mirrors and am going to retro fit them on. They seem like it will be better.

:+1:, but can be a bit expensive, so just tuck your elbow in to save money

 

[ryebrd12]

elbow exercises, definitely
