Julian Thompson Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 At 5ft 9 I can't see past my R500 centre mirror!! I get a huge blind spot in the middle and it's not very nice on tight left handers!! For now I've taken the mirror off and its great; I can see the lovely bonnet now! I'm sure someone on here shortened the pedastal for the mirror; any help on the best method appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Hi Julian I had mine cut down, and a new plate welded on the bottom to bolt it on scuttle as the std Demon Tweeks items is quite high, and then repainted It is now c. 25mm between scuttle and bolt for mirror Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Alternatively lengthen it. I shortened mine but it still didn't help. Even Keith (Jecks) who is probably about your height if not taller) uses a lengthened one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Thompson Posted August 12, 2002 Author Share Posted August 12, 2002 Thanks for that; I'd not thought of lengthening it Alex so I'll check it out. Actually, even though the mirror is very light, its not as light as no mirror! So I might not bother with it. Do you guys think no centre mirror will be a problem on trackdays?

ian balson Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 You can get a 24mm post direct from SPA. However, at 5'7" it still obscures the left front arch. Ian ian.balson@yahoo.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
