coy55boy Posted September 16, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2010 I finally got my new (to me) 83 VR on the road this last weekend and really enjoyed the ride. But, I couldn't get the rear view mirrors adjusted to suit me. It seems that their placement on the fairing is too low and too close to the centerline. I could only get a good view of my arm and the lane next to me on either side. I could never tell if anyone was directly behind. Has anyone else had this problem? And what did you do to correct it?

Another possible solution is stick-on small spot mirrors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted September 16, 2010 Share #4 Posted September 16, 2010 I added the small stickon convex mirrors in the bottom corners of the mirrors to help with the blindspots Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
