Title: Mirror extenders?
Post by: Vsekvsek on February 14, 2013, 12:09:21 AM
Are there mirror extenders out there for the fj? I have an 89 fj. My stock fj mirrors i just cant get that sweet spot no matter what i do. They just seem a tad to short.

Don't know about extenders, but there is a CBR mirror  replacement. FJmonkey have made an excellent thread on this topic..
Take a look,  it might interest you :yes:

 I have done billet aluminum spacers (extenders) for our FJ's in the past. I will check to see if I have any left in stock. A 1 in. spacer between the stock mirror and the fairing works great for me, I'm 230lbs and 6'4". If you need more then that you can use the 86-87 mirrors with my spacers for a much wider view. Henry has a pair of my spacers (I think) with the 86-87 mirrors on his 89. He's not extra wide, he just has big elbows.

I thought Henry broke all his mirrors?  :-)

At least that used to be the Rally Ritual. 
Everyone gathers around to watch Carey and Henry unload their bikes.  Henry drops his and breaks a mirror.  Almost like clockwork.

Maybe Henry's replacement mirror budget running short was why they actually rode down to the last fall rally!  :biggrin:


KOokaloo!

Henry's too busy breaking mirrors FJR to mess with his FJ...       :bomb:
