1993 K75S -- Extending the mirrors?

Interesting. So you just raised the height of the stock mirrors? As opposed to trying to push them outward? And you can now see everything easily; e.g. neither your shoulders nor elbows block your view? I have OEM mirrors mounted to the brakes per the standard set-up.

Pics of my K75S, which I sold, you can definitely see how much more the mirrors extend out, although it is the older "flatter" style of mirror head. Not sure which model but probably what the previous guy said, i know it was a similar year R bike.

I can't get over how pretty that blue paint looks. That had to be a rare bike when new. Still is, I would imagine.

Which aftermarket mirrors are these? Lowering resolves the "body block" issue? My stock mirrors are definitely blocked by my shoulders, upper arms. I was thinking I had to keep going up and out with the mirrors; e.g. R80ST mirrors. However I like the idea of lower (and wider) if that solves the issue.

Big Dog,


What I did was drill out the stock mirror holes slightly with a 11/32” drill. Then I tapped the holes with a 10x1.25 tap. I was then able to select from any of the HondaKawaZuki aftermarket mirrors. You can’t use the ones for Yamahas because they use left hand threads on one side. The BMW mirrors will still work in the modified holes.

There are literally hundreds of inexpensive aftermarket mirrors out there that will work with this setup. The choice is up to you.

The mirrors that I went with are Ken Sean Superbike AX mirrors ($10.99 ea. From Bike Bandit). Tanax Napoleon Cross Ax-10R and Ax-10L are almost identical mirrors.

The vision is good, but if you want to see straight behind, you need to slightly tuck your elbow. I’ve been very happy with this setup for about 15 years now.
