My invention : Home-made mirror extenders...

I didn't see anywhere where it said prototype. It actually sounded like this was the final version, at least for now.

Even with the shrink tubing, and I am sure there will be big enough out there, it won't look good; better yes, but not good. It will still look out of place. Having two "arms" go out to the mirror mount, which is a flat oval shape, then to one arm to the mirror. This doesn't really make sense when there are several products already out there designed for just this purpose. Why not use one of them? Unless one comes up with something that looks better or works better, or is easier, it just doesn't make sense. The solid block ones availible aren't expensive and you can get them in aluminum or Delrin, and when installed, they look nearly stock, and are sure to be more stable since it is a flat mounting surface and the screw holes aren't going to be too big.

 

I agree.

tho thild be pretty easy to have manufactured.

all it is is a rectangular piece with rounded corners and 2 holes.

ill be doing this to my new bike.

may buy one. depends on the price.

 

i think i'll use some 40oz bottle tops yeah........keep it realllllllllllllllllllllllllllll:reg:

 

To the OP - what happened to your windscreen? It looks like you ran over a deer (or whatever the prevailing species is in Istanbul).

 

I have made some out of bar stock aluminum 3/8" - 1/2" if there is any interest in this let me know, I can make some more.
lexan is also availible.

 

Hey...home made solutions can be a great thing for certain problems...my lisence plate/luggage rack is a perfect example!!

 

no idea about your particular project, but I don't think anyone here is against homemade solutions per se, I certainly am not. But sometimes they just don't work out as well as we had hoped. And it doesn't make sense to do this if there are other better solutions out there already. If no one else had addressed this previously, then OK. Or if he said, "I didn't like the other ones out there because XYZ, so I came up wtih this..." that would be one thing.

 

Exactly...i should have added some context to my post. For SLO III i made some custom luggage brackets to carry some bimmer bags that i have. on the way down, at 90 mph, they experienced an epic fail (twice!!!), and I wound up with a custom license plate.

before heading out


after the first fail


the second fail

 

Umm, why??

 

Are you plan on towing a trailer for those extensions?

 

home made solution (in this case) = twice "epic" fail

that says a lot...

and those aren't exactly beautiful...

 

I thought that was where the Cirque du' Soleil performers hung on for their BIG entrance!:thumbsup:
