Hi One and All,

I'm looking to extend the mirrors of my 2006 Tiger and wondered what the options were ??

I would rather extend them outwards from the base, but don't know where to buy this type.

I have seen the ones that extend from the top of the mirror but I'm not too sure on these.

Can anyone help ??


Cheers,
Graeme.

Graeme, these extenders are very good; they extend the ends about 2.5".

I've looked at the Jack Lilleys and was wondering if they catch the screen / fairing on full lock.

I'm assuming the ones that extend outwards from the base will miss the screen completely.

I went for the SW-Motech ones in the end.

They extend out at the base, so you can change their angle to suit your needs.

I can now see everything in the "blind spots".

Cheers for the advice.
Graeme.

I had a spare set of mirrors from my '03 Speed Triple and wanted to see if they were any bigger or would poistion in a better way.. Saddly they were about the same size... What I did notice was that the stalks were MUCH longer!!! I put the Tiger mirror heads on the Speed Triple stalks and the mirrors are now higher and further out!! The original Spped Triple mirrors screwed in at the mirror head, not on an extended swivale like the Tiger..

Speed Triple stalk on the left!!


I now have FULL rearward visibility in BOTH mirrors!!! Nobody can hide behinds me again and I don't have to look at my elbows!!!!
