Mirror extensions

Post by caseybea »

Same problem as many larger riders- the mirrors are too close together.

I shopped around looking at different mirrors, decided I really like the stock mirrors. Just need to move them out...

So, I just picked up a pair of these on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VB ... UTF8&psc=1

To confirm for other folks here who may be interested, the 2013 PCX does indeed require TWO left-hand-threaded extensions. (what a weird thing). I am guessing the 2015 is the same...?

Anyway, just adding my two cents that these extensions work very well. The mirrors are now OUT where I need them, as well as being UP a wee bit as well. For tall riders like me, they work great. I got them in black, they blend in with all of the rest of the trim and junk on the handlebars.

Thanks for your post and link. This is something I have been wanting to do but keep putting off. I think I'll stop procrastinating and order them NOW.

No, I don't work for Amazon :-)

PS: If you have anything other than a 2013, CHECK your mirrors first and which way they unscrew. It seems that every bike is different. Weird standard. Some bikes have 2 x left, some have 2 x right, some have one of each............

I bought the ones Givi makes. I really never thought about right or left threads.They don't come loose while riding so maybe I got lucky. I like the concept of them being higher. The Givi ones are about the same height they were originally. I may look into these. Thanks for the link. I am a big fan of amazon.

If the threads were the wrong direction you would not have been able to screw them in at all.

My 2013 (Canadian) PCX has right-hand threads on both sides. I now have one extender on the bike, and the other in a drawer in case I can ever find a bolt (none of the hardware stores near me sells them).

You can see the extension on the left-hand mirror.

LuckyBike was also the vendor who supplied the extensions I purchased from Amazon. You are right, they were great to work with.

Do you think these will work for the 2014 Forza as well?

I read about them on this site, first in the Forza section, so look there.

I think the answer is yes they will fit, but before you order, verify for yourself which direction your mirrors are threaded. There are conflicting posts suggesting not every scooter of the same model is the same. Maybe it varies by market.

Yep, Forzas have backwards threads....
I used these extensions until I found that Honda CB500X mirrors have a longer stem than our scoot's....fit with no alterations - and I think they are a cleaner/stock-looking solution. They look just like the stock mirrors, except the stem is thicker (but machined the same on the ends) and longer than our scooter mirrors.
