Mirror extender

Post by racurley »

Anyone use a mirror extender? I see ok with the mirrors but am thinking the are contributing some turbulence. These could let me reposition them a little. $84 for the SW-MOTECH is a bit steep for this but I see some alternatives on Amazon. Anyone know what size the mirror thread is on the R?

Some, including me, installed K bike mirrors with only one slight modification. Extend the view somewhat.
