long stem mirrors

[MongoE9]

Has anyone found a good set of similar to stock mirrors that have an extended stem. With the addition of my dog trailer I need some additional height to my mirrors to see over it. The right side is a left handed thread on the RSV. I just found that out as well so the vast majority on the market will not work. I wouldn't mind just adding an extension, but again they are right handed as well.

Thanks

There was a thread on here about a month ago about someone putting a set of aftermarket mirrors on their 1st Gen. I don't know how to search for it because I don't remember which thread it was. They were black mirrors, not chrome.

Thank you Gentlemen. Unfortunately I don't think that 1st Gen Mod will work on my 2nd Gen. Looks good though, thanks for sharing. I think my problems will be solves with some extensions that I found on ebay.

Ride safe and enjoy the ride.

Thanks again all. after giving it some thought and putting my somewhat mechanically inclined mind to work on something other than work, Ugh while staring at my bench vice hoping for some inspiration I decided to bend the stock mirrors just short of straight and gained the almost 2 inches I was wanting. I went slowly and made sure I didn't damage the chrome. They look great and work like a champ.

 

Something else I did this week was replace a broken Kuryakn ISO grip and reinstalled the stock weights back into the handlebar. I simply drilled out the middle of the ISO to accomodate the weight and screwed it back in where it belonged. Yes the throttle side needed a spacer in order to be able to tighten it down and still leave a little gap for the throttle backlash. Works like a champ and looks great too!

Harbers Cycles on eBay has a set of huge Emgo mirrors for Yamaha bikes. I have a set on my RSTC. Don [Gunboat] had a set on his '99 RSV and transferred them to the '99 trike. They do not look out of place. Far better than stock, these guys are 4"x6" and have done a luvely job of helping to get rid of my blind spot. Stock mirrors just plain suck.
