Re: hey all. newbie here need some help
The easy answer is do what I do...pull your elbows in when you need to do a mirror check. (
Please bear in mind that this answer is not sarcastic in any way, just aided by vodka. As lots of my posts tend to be!) You can get mirror spacers - there should be someone along soon who can tell you where from. |

Re: hey all. newbie here need some help
It'd help if you told us what model SV you have as the mirrors are different...

Re: hey all. newbie here need some help
OK I think you have an easy fix, have a search for "Mirror Extenders" there should be plenty of info.
What you could also try is to pull the mirror arm as far towards the front of the bike as possible and then angle the end bit of the mirror out to the side...

Either Chewys....
Or Blandit Mania... Personally I would opt for Chewys, Banditmania have a renowned reputation for being useless. |
