I’m really struggling to get my mirrors in a position that allows me to see behind me. Being a big lass, all I see are my arms and to get a view behind me I need to move my arms out of the way first!!!
I think the answer is to extend the length of the mirror arms. Any ideas how/where I do that?
i dont think im very very big, but i have the same prob on the r6. you gotta move out of the way slightly to see behind you, and tuck your elbows in. its your riding position.
You dont extend the actual arms per say, but put spacers between the fairing and the arms giving you about an extra inch only. Not really worth it, just move ya ass to the side.
It is your riding position tho, most riders normally ride with their elbows out, then again we are not Rossis, but MotoGP riders, ride with all their bits tucked in
I have the same problem on the VFR, you soon get in to the habit of moving elbows and other things whilst riding. It also helps you stay relaxed if you keep things moving around instead of in a locked position
I have to say that I hardly ever rely on my mirrors as I always do lifesavers before I do anything. But yes, all sportbikers have to move their bits out the way to see what’s coming
