1" makes all the difference

Hi guys,
Just got back from Egypt 10 days ago missed you all so much I thought I'd leave it a while to make sure :D . Before I went away i bought some mirror extensions off Speedy. Didn't have a chance to try them until i got back but have done a weeks commuting round the M25 Rainham (essex) to Croydon each day :P and can report back that I am really pleased with the improvement to vision they make. Took about 10 minutes to fit after finding some long bolts to fix em on with. They don't look particularly out of place being black the colour God meant xx to be. I don't know if the blocks come in other colours for lesser bikes :D :D The rubber cover sits nicely on them and it all looks like it was meant to be. On the road I thought the 1" would not make much difference but it really is all you need. Even with a heavy winter coat on the visability is much improved. The mirrors are also brought up a touch which also goes to help. There is no vibration brought on by the mirrors being that much further out, they are as rock steady as the original fitting. In my umble opine they are well worth the investment if you find yourself one day getting bored looking at your elbows.
