One thing I would like to do is get the mirrors sorted, my problem is that I am 6 foot 5 and when in rideing kit the only thing I can see in my mirrors are my elbows is there anything I can do to help.
I dont want to bin the mirrors so are there any others out there that have the same problem and what can I do.

Some cars have mirrors with a little tilt at the end so that it improves the side-ways view.
I have seen little stick-ons that give a sideways glimpse.
Then again- maybe its better to keep the shoulder check discipline
XT1200Z - Big and bouncy
GTR1400 - Chaufer the wife.
XT660Z - Fun and commute.
TDM900 - Yellow.

I aways do "lifesavers" but mirrors give me that bit more confidance at the mo I have only been rideing for a year.

They look good, bit pricey may be able to get some made?????

I am sure we can get some made up for a fraction of that.
Me thinks another Andy K deal could be in the offing.
Vario touring screen, Stainless Steel Rad Guard,
Still in the shed:- BMW Hand Guards, Heated Grips, Aux Lamps.

They only cause drag, and are unwanted clutter on the 'steered mass' causing slower steering
Concentrate on whats in fornt oif you and not where you've been
If you must see whats behind, then as you say, look over your shoulder.
Tidies up the lines of the bike as well without them great big hulking things sticking out
