I have those. Well built and they work pretty well. I like the look a little better that the the factory long stalks, though I suspect that they provide better vision. Why post as Anon? |

Do the extenders take any of the vibration out of the mirrors??? How much do they extend, length wise??? Thanks, Kevin |

Kevin, I don't know that they get rid of any vibration, but they don't add to it. At idle the mirrors still shake. Once the revs are up, they smooth out. They extend far enough to clearly see behind you instead of just looking at your elbows. |

Both the extenders and the 04 mirrors extend the stalk by about 1/3 (the same amount). One just "looks like it was made that way..." |

Posted Anon because I didn't want to be associated with working for or trying to promote the company. I just wanted to share the fact of the cheap price. I only thought that Buell offered the whole mirrors for something like $200. Heck I might of opted for the mirror stalks... but the extensions make the mirros look less like insect antennas. THanks for all the great comments. |

Even with the extended mirrors that came stock with XB12R, you can't see directly behind you. That's just me. That's why I got the extension for the extended mirrors. Safety issue. |
