[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 946645, member: 21394"] If you have never tried them you'd never know. My first experience with the FZ1 mirrors was sitting on Madmike2's bike. First he stood about 20 feet in back of my Gen1. He was completely invisible to me. My line of vision to the rear did not converge behind me with the OEM mirrors, it got wider as distance increased. I sat on his bike with the FZ1 mirrors and I could see him and had good peripheral vision on both sides. SOLD. My only complaint is that I split lanes...a lot. The mirrors are very susceptible to touching the mirrors of vehicles I pass. The excuse that they are feelers and the same width as the bags does not hold true because mirrors of cars stick out farther than the body panels and the FZ1 mirrors become more restrictive in width than the bike, especially with the bags removed. If someone wants to make a buck, it would be really valuable to me to have a telescoping mirror that ranged from the width of the OEM to that of the FZ1. and still folded back. Well, we can dream. :lol: [/QUOTE]
