Mirrors

[Angus]

I was having the same issue with my C-14 as I had with my Honda ST 1300. That is poor rear vision to the rear with the stock mirrors.  So...from Bike Masters I got two T2 handlebar mirror adapters, black for the 7/8" bar with 10mm threaded holes. From "vipcycles" I got two black round Viking mirrors with stems, $26.95.  Now I can see what is behind me!  The only issue I have is the stems brush up against the windshield at full lock, so I raise the windshield a bit when I have to paddle the bike around my garage.

Do you have a gen1 or gen2 (you should list that in your signature/avatar info)?  I really don't have any visibility issues (gen2), just a little bit of bag at the bottom, otherwise really great views.  It will depend on your sitting position and torso height.... I have a long/tall torso and also sit more upright due to handlebar risers.  Gen1 has lower mirrors, so they can be more problematic.

I think that is the question.  Do you have handlebar risers?    Before I put the risers on the mirrors weren't that good.   The risers get my hands out of the way and not I only see a little bit of bags in the corner.   ( the same corner of the mirror I should have some button mirrors.)
