I think Jack Lilley sell extender blocks. Don't have a problem with the mirrors on my RS though. :-D

You must be really skinny. I have to tuck an elbow to see what's behind me.

I just feel like a chicken when I look behind in the mirrors.. flap flap. I try to do one elbow and then the other so I don't look too much like an eejiot. I am used to it now..

I've never had a problem with fuzziness. You have to look down to see back but at least I can see behind me.

I'll get around to figuring out how to replace the "nubs" where the old mirrors were attached someday.

I am normally going too fast to look back !! You might fill the holes with some 3-4mm flat plastic (milled or ground) pieces to look pretty !!

I have the same problem.

You can also try these:

Y2K VFR Mirrors

I'm about to make this change. Supposed to be a close fit. A little dremel work and it's a done deal.

Good luck!
