root Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I fitted these ones: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Black-Mirrors-Riser-Extender-Adapter-MT-09-MT-07-Fazer-FZ-09-V-max-1700-/181450174271?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item2a3f45ef3f The finish was surprisingly good, and it is a simple matter to set them up so that they don't interfere with the controls. I used Loctite, and they haven't budged. None of the vibration issues that some have commented on, and the rear/side vision is now spot-on. Thanks for this, traceroz - I've just ordered a pair, good value at $28 inc postage. They seem to differ from other extenders in that this item comprises a new "foot" that moves the stems and mirrors outboard by 35mm (1.5"), instead of lengthening the stems themselves by means of an insert. I'll leave my 2" dia spot mirrors on, as IMHO they do add another layer of useful wide-angled rear vision... But - FWIW - I do not seem to experience these mirror vibes that plague some here, it seems. Might happen when I get to 50+ kph! L of S I've got the ones that lengthen the stems and have no issues with vibes in the mirrors at any speed. I'm sure the ones you got will be fine too. My old bike may as well not have mirrors is was so blurred at any speed. Night and day difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member estell Posted July 9, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 9, 2015 I just installed the Koubalink extenders. Mine vibrate like others have stated. However, I prefer to see blurry cars rather than my elbows. 2015 red FJ-09: Cal Sci screen, Sargent seat, ECU flash, slider combo, cruise, Rizoma bars, Matts forks, JRi shock, slipper clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringman Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 For those in the UK I have just bought these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-MIRROR-ADAPTOR-KIT-10MM-LEFT-HAND-THREAD-CONVERT-/271914330927?clk_rvr_id=869400488410&rmvSB=true only £5.95. I know they are silver but a spray of matt black will sort that out. I am hoping that the 25mm (1 inch) will suffice iff not I will give the extender/ raisers a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringman Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 well no pics as such and limited good and bad feedback the bad feedback is that they sent one correct item and one incorrect item (m10-m8 thread converter) so I could only fit the left hand mirror. also as I had the engine sliders off with no new bolts I couldn't road test the bike. but sitting on the bike it seemed a really good improvement. BUT here is where it gets interesting! this was in the position of raising the mirror up by 25mm. but if you look by the mirror knuckle you will see a rubber cap, pull this back and then you can undo the mirror there and insert these adaptors. this then extends them out 25mm. this worked really well. plus you still have the option of adding in the extenders at the bottom for the height as well So when I get incorrect item replaced that is what I will be doing. then I will take some pics. well all being well the links below should show the one I have fitted http://imgur.com/Y1Sc7Uohttp://i.imgur.com/iZ4qQ2p.jpg you can see that these push the mirrors out by 25mm . Due to needing some engine bolts I haven't been able to road test them for vibration yet but when I can I will try them in the current position and the "raised" position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blobbs Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The mirror just screws off. Once you loosen the locking nut on the bottom. That nut is connected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringman Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Blobbs I don't really understand your post. Anyway the replacement extender arrived so I fitted both. I can now see so much better. I still need to do some fiddling and may try the left hand mirror raised rather than extended. but the view is so much better. I need to tighten the bolts a bit as the right hand mirror was a bit blurry over 70mph but I would rather have blurry vision than clear views of my elbow!! all in all a very good £5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to pay, I noticed that they charge $16 just for shipping!! That is ridiculous, just for two light weight aluminum 2" extenders!! Guess I won't be buying them from this company!!

kevinkbl Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 This is perfect for me, R&G riser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamalv Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 @ kevinkbl Hey man, they look like a good fit. Could you give a bit more feedback on vibration, noise etc? Any problems? And exactly which model did you order from their website? I see two models and they both say the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see two models and they both say the same thing The original has too much blind spot, other extender is wide and low, not appropriate for high density traffic conditions. I need something that raise the mirror higher, thus the R&G, I do not encounter any blurry reflections from vibrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
