Moderator Cynic Posted August 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2013 Think about it for a moment. The mirrors are limited by the width of the bars. Your hands will be holding said bars. Well should be. The mirrors will show you your elbows. Bikes where you sit upright like my TDR will be better because your position is different. It has been like it forever.

pilninggas Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 To be fair the XJ6 has far better mirror visibility that almost all out-and-out sports bikes. If you mean bar-end mirrors, you could fit some - they aren't that expensive and worth a try. Also textile jackets tend to obscure mirrors more than leather jackets. Something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bar-End-Mirrors-Yamaha-MT-01-FZ1-N-FZ8-N-FZ6-N-XJ6N-YZF-R6-R1-600-1000-/111068953810?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item19dc39bcd2 Disclaimer: i've not bought them or used the vendor, so make your own choices.

Ttaskmaster Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Most mirrors can be fitted with extenders, ie longer stems. More so the kind that screw in. For fairing-mounted ones like yours, you usually have three options: 1/. Get aftermarket ones with longer stems. 2/. Seek/make spacers that go between the mounting brackets and the fairing. 3/. Find another make of mirror that is longer/wider/whatever you need. For example, I'm looking for a set of Bandit 1250 mirrors, as they fit straight on to my existing brackets, but have longer stems and wider mirrors.
