I have the OEM mirrors on my 98 Valk.  There are times when I wish the mirrors extended another 1" for better visibility.  Does anyone know if there are extensions available for the OEM mirrors?  or a classic style mirror replacement that extends farther than the OEM mirrors?

Here's a start... http://www.hondadirectlineofshadyside.com/stores/byProduct.asp?prd=Mirrors&str=2&ID=837335343 I have both, I prefer the short ones, when properly adjusted. I feel I don't have to turn my head as far and can keep my eyes where they belong (on the road)

Emgo makes mirrors for metric replacement. One of mine is an Emgo and you can't tell it from the OEM. www.emgo.com You could buy 2 mirrors with longer stems and change out to the original mirror heads and have spares too.

Kuryakyn makes several long stem replacements that will bolt up with their adapter. moves the mirror out two inches. Other option is switch to convex mirrors which will increase the field of view.

There is a machinist, named Pete, in Canada that is making small stuff for Hondas.  Here is a link to his mirror extentions.  Scoll down on the site to get the the extentions.  http://www3.sympatico.ca/peter.mcavoy/bman/custom.html

Great find! that is exactly what I need.  appears like the mirror extensions are custom but I'll fire him an email and see about pricing, etc.

Thanks!
