I can't stand these mirrors on my 09 . Anyone found something else that works ? I'm thinking of trying some sort of bar end mirror possibly . Anything has got to help , thanks

These mirrors are amazing, are you crazy?

Put on some small spot mirrors in each corner, makes a big difference.

I saw a sweet mirror solution on B.D.F.'s '09, hopefully he'll chime in and assist you

I do see a lot of the bags in my 09 mirrors, guess I've gotten used to it because it's not a problem any more.

I like the idea of small spot mirrors.

I have a set of blind spot mirrors in the inside upper corner, but only because i wanted to see behind me AND still catch my blind spots. But i think my mirrors are a bit higher than the 09? plenty of room for convex attachments though

You could go with something like this.

lt1, who is a member here, sells some mirror risers of different sizes. I bought a pair from him and visibility is so much better.

Walmart is your friend for convex mirrors.

Is that supposed to be a picture of the mirror, or the bar weight?

Thanks for the good word. The product was fine, but my evaluation of the demand was off.

To the OP and/or others, there is a used pair of my mirror riser in the for sale section. I believe I may still have a pair or two in storage, pm me if you are interested. The risers improve the functionality of the mirrors and redirect a bit of airflow off your hands.

Well, it's a thread about aux mirrors...

So I'm showing you the bar end weight, like it?

Yes, it's a very ~~pretty~~ shiny bar end weight. I especially like the red racing stripe. You can almost see the mirror in that picture too (just a bonus, I'm sure).

I'm a giver, what can I say?

Just in case you didn't know, that's the other side of my Throttlemeister.

i like my views. No blind spots. Wide angles on the top view and adjust spots to see cars in the lanes beside me.

Spot mirrors should be to the very most left of mirror.

Wow! What is it like to ride at night on a crowded freeway with a sea of headlights following you?
