 If you've seen these before sorry, but it was news to me. I got them a few days ago and I must say they work great for fat shoulders like mine. I now have an unobstructed view. I have new adjustment angles and no longer need those additional little mirrors. They are expensive  ( $20+ so they aren't for everyone), but all safety stuff is cheap to me. I thought I spent way to much time focusing from the main mirror to the little ones; when all I needed is a glance and a look over my shoulder in one quick fluid motion. I will post a few pics on my scoot when the rain stops, till then you can check them out on ebay, searching mirror extender may yield a lower price.

Actually as I read it, it was $7.00 shipping. From Hong Kong that is pretty good. Usually they want $10 or so for it.
$20.00 for a pair of CNC machined extenders isn't had actually. To make them, they have to mill off a lot of material from the bar of aluminum, and drill and tap the holes.
A local machine shop would probably charge at least a $100.00 bucks for it or more.

Thanks for the link. I purchased a pair on Saturday night. Is the left hand extension reverse thread or do you have to modify something to make it work?

Sorry guys, I got caught up in take home mid-terms, OT at the job and chasing a tune on my scoot (one carb adjustment a day, YUK). I promise to post pixs tomorrow. So far they fit well and they not only give you height but more adjustment angles. I can see everything behind me at a glance. They take 10mm mirrors and screw clockwise no mods for me.
Long day tomorrow, work, hopefully a final adjustment on the carb, taking pixs, pick-up the baby, upload pixs to host, watch Dora with the baby, post pixs and homework till midnight. (And God knows what else)

I got a set of adapters to put 10mm threaded mirrors on the 8mm threaded mirror mount, and then put a pair of big round standard mirrors on my scooter, now I can see around my shoulders and don't have to adjust the crappy stock mirrors every 5 minutes.

They're great, right? I feel a lot safer.
