That's a different mirror on there ?.Were the OEM's just to narrow for you ? Back when I had my A/head RS they were for me, but I never found an alternative that I cared for.
 
You are correct. I fount the view of my shoulders in the stock mirrors less than useful. The mirrors are Rizoma. With the help of my brother in law, who is a machinist, I made the brackets from billet aluminum. The brackets use the same holes in the fairing and frame as the original mirrors. There is a thread on the forum (way back, maybe 2007?) where I described the process and had photo documentation of the results.

John and I went for a little ride today, temps in the low 40's outside the fog, a wee bit cooler under the clouds' chilly caress . . .

Those Hippo Hands were pretty useful, though after my hands got cold handling the camera they never did warm back up. :uhoh

Some of the farms here appear quite prosperous, others less so . . .
