Default behind you...

got some GSF650 Bandit SK5 mirrors the other day and coupled with chewies mirror extenders i can now see everything behind me. its a massive difference. they are a direct replacement and the feet are exactly the same as the ones on a pointy.

i had someone stand directly behind the bike at about 10' and i could see them in both mirrors. out on the road i can see cars in both mirrors and all the way up a line of traffic.

If they work, and you're happy with them, that's all that matters.

This is something I would definitely consider. Since I installed the comfort kit, the rear vision was seriously compromised. Any chance you can upload a snapshot? Do they make the bike wider or just taller?

Yeah picture please. This is something I might look in to as my mirrors are gash since I fitted the comfort kit.
