Anyone know of stem extensions for the factory mirrors? I might have to change both the mirrors for aftermarkets.  I'm a tall wide man and wish my mirrors were either taller or stuck out more so I can see something besides part of the road and part of my elbows.   ???

I put these on my 99 I/S over 4 years ago and have been completely satisfied.  They come with the stem set up to be wider, but they can be made taller by reversing the stem which is what I did.  They are quite a bit larger than OEM and not very expensive for the quality of mirror...Jim

Loose your mirrors, swing them so that they are at the furthest end of the arc,....closest to the perpendicular to the centerline of the handlebar, then tighten the mounting screws.

I've done this to several Valk owners that forgot that their mirrors are "adjustable".
