Brand name Dura Heat, Home Depo, 23,000 BTU's can bring my 2 car garage up in the 60's in just a few minutes and that's about right for tinkering. You are in Florida :lol: the blood gets thin, my 60 is your freezing so without insulation on the doors it can't do much better than 60 today in Chicago land its only 20 degrees. I guess for such a little heater its OK but K1 kerosene is not cheap o_O I can blow through 2.5 gallons in an afternoon and that's 20 bucks!... there has to be a better way.

Wear a jumper?

You should not be afraid to use these little Magazi Mirrors. They do not vibrate any more that stock and perhaps even less. They are way better rearview than stock provides even though smaller. Most of all they are not the first thing you see when you look at a Honda PCX 8) ENJOY!

"Speeding" homie
Love them mirrors more! And I Did Not See any vibration :P
Would you please take a Head on photo? Standing back about 10 feet? And a profile at same distance?
Oh, I'm a brat, I know. But
You mentioned the mirror viewing was just as good or better than stock. Hard to believe being they're smaller, but You know first hand now. Cool!

Sure thing WN... Better than stock only because they go beyond my shoulders, and yes they will vibrate when idling like your stock ones do but not when driving. I won't be switching back, I like them too much after just one outing 8)

Excellent video, homie. Still hard to believe that smaller mirrors would be better than larger mirrors. I am happy with my PCX stock mirrors after graduating from the Honda Metropolitan.

Don't misunderstand Yak, if you extend your stock mirrors out further you would have better visibility around your shoulders and an excellent rearview. These seem better only because I can see around my shoulders but takes a few minutes to get used to as they are much smaller.

Thank Ya for the video showing exactly what I asked for! :P They look good at every camera angle. I googled magazi mirrors and saw a few other models. Hmm..why did I do that? It only confuses matters :roll: I like the silver in your Tulip style too.
Oh I totally forgot to thank you for the heater info. So, thanks! I won't be going the Kerosene route though. Not a fan. Black Friday sales coming this week, let's see what pops. It's getting nasty time outside this week, right around Turkey Day. Kick up the heat!

Organized, obsessive compulsive... whole house is like that. Maybe disease but family members aren't complaining too much as long as I ignore things normal people leave unattended. This is key otherwise you will isolate and quickly become a recluse. It's a fine line you walk as a monk between the two A's... appreciated and asshat.

Mel,

I'd appreciate some feedback re: extenders. I ordered 1 for my '13 PCX, and it doesn't fit. Both my mirrors are right-hand thread (righty-tighty, lefty-loosey). Is my bike weird, or???

Seems like years since I had the rush of blasting down the highway on the little Honda. Neighbor mentioned he saw me last fall and thought it odd to see a scooter keeping with traffic ;) This is a long cold winter here in ChicagoLand, don't think I can take much more after reviewing this old video post on Magazi mirrors. Man can we just dig out of this snow and get back out there...

I look forward to seeing your videos Steph, husband cruising along side most likely (so cool). Wait, will John remain on his PCX while you blastoff on a Ninja? How does that work? You could direct your cam to the rear I guess ;) As for being to old... I think not. Just adjust your speed to reflexes and enjoy the occasional needed acceleration. Billy says he wants to ride passenger with you.

Quoting myself here :o

I couldn't locate the bolt I needed, so I emailed the eBay seller, and asked whether they would supply me with the RH threaded bolt. I was surprised when the reply was yes, no charge, and even more surprised when they sent be the bolt complete with a new mirror extender.

Posting this to say thank you to Jessica & luckybike-accessories:

Always nice to have good customer service, especially on eBay where so many sellers don't offer much service unless it is for more money.
2010 Honda PCX 125 in Thailand (White) - "White Lightning" Sold in Sept 2017 :(
2009 Yamaha Majesty YP400 in USA (Metalic Titanium) - "The Throne" Sold in June 2020 :(
