How many times have you gotten on a bike and adjusted the mirrors over and over again, only to realize that the only way that you're going to be able to see behind you is to shift your shoulders to either side when you want to take a peak? It's not only annoying, but it could also be a little dangerous in an emergency situation. It boggles my mind why most motorcycle manufacturers don't already have longer or wider mirrors installed as stock, purely for the safety aspect. I know it might look super sleek and stylish if you've got a 10 -inch mirror sitting out to the side, but I've always thought it was better to see something coming.
If you've looked for other mirror alternatives but still can't find something that can allow you to see behind your shoulders, you might check out these Long Stem Motorcycle Mirrors made by Hoosier Garage. These mirrors have a 7-inch stem with a 6-inch-long mirror (making it over a foot long in total reflecting length). It's also a little wider than stock at 3¾ inches. They have a 10mm clockwise thread, which means they'll work in many bikes, but not for Yamahas or other bikes with reverse threading on the right-hand side. The stem is chromed steel, and the mirror housing is ABS plastic.
