It’s really soft so I can’t see how it can do anything but will fit it for a laugh and see if it does!

Still, it'll save having to lift a leg to let a fart out.

WTF is going on with how the mirrors are mounted, that's massively over complicated.

The mirrrors are going too. OEM ones arrive, hopefully today. The new ones have R&G extenders on as well. Saves me looking at my shoulders and lets me look behind.

When i changed the levers I was pleased to see the pivot bolts were clean and had grease in there! Nice to know someone has looked after it properly at some point.

They're better than the old ones but it's a shame you can't get the R&G style ones in a shorter length, might stop them looking so special. Or maybe you can? I have no idea.

I just wanted oem mirrors snd found these on marketplace. They just happened to come with R&G risers. As a lot of people moan about the oem ones only showing your elbows, I get why they had the risers on there. Most go to bar ends but they make the bike wider and less good for filtering, hence my going for these. I’ll see how they work out…

Mirrors work really well. Less blurry with the vibes than the cheap shite ones too. Levers felt much better and more comfortable than the square edged things. £50 well spent I reckon! :thumbup: Just wish the lowering pegs would get here!! I did find i can rest my legs on the R&G crash bung thing though!

I got it from Temu. Not sure i'd bother though. It just flattens when you sit on it? I really should try it out though...

Its just another aliexpress, Shein, Wish etc, but to get ahead of the game they are doing free P&P on a lot of the stuff.
