I installed these Hornig Mirror Extensions on the RS today. Solved the issue where the Barkbuster hand guards would hit the mirrors on full turns.
Also solved the issue of my broad, manly shoulders getting in the way of seeing behind me.

The look is a bit "industrial" but they do what they are supposed to do. Installation was easy even though no instructions were provided.

Would you have a link for those, Sam? I loved the guards in the winter, but, like you, was aggravated at the compromised mirror position

Here's a more visible version of the link:

I hyperlinked in the original post but it doesn't show up very clearly.

(Well, I guess that would include me too, though I'll beat the crap out of anyone who insists on pointing it out.)
(Reminds me of the old Bob Nelson comedy routine about shouldamapads.)

04 June update:

I did a 112 mile ride and the mirror extenders worked well. No noticeable difference in vibration and the mirror stalks stayed firmly in place.

Here's a shot of the bike up on Mt. Lemmon as I took a long diversion to get into work this particular morning.
Normal commute is 13 miles, but the 112 on this trip was much more enjoyable.

Hi AZGeek

My Hornig extenders arrive later today (I need them after changing to the Wunderlich Handlebar Conversion and seeing only my hands) . I'm glad to hear that they function well. Now I need a new screen :) What screen do you have?

Thanks, Distrito.

Thanks Distrito. The screen I have pictured here is the MRA Multi-X-Creen Windscreen.
