Re: photo mirror extensions
Odd. When you click through the link and check compatibility, the page claims that the product is not compatible. You pic suggests otherwise - did you have to do anything funky?
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

Re: photo mirror extensions
When I ordered my Givi tall windscreen it showed the mirror extension kit beside it and said they would not work on a PCX 150, but I ordered them anyway. They fit nicely, so I am a bit confused by all of the information also. Either they changed the kit, or somebody was wrong when they said it wouldn't fit. My wife wants the kit now so I have to find out what is going on also.
Currently own:
Red 2013 Honda PCX150
Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights
Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn
Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires
Headlight assy upgraded to LEDs w/HS5 main bulbs
NCY variator, drive face, and rollers

But I didn't think anyone was looking. Sorry.
Other than reminding yourself that, today, it's "Lefty Tighty & Righty Loosy" - it wasn't too hard.
Careful not to drop the mirror while mucking about spinning things the wrong way, then the right way.
You will need about a nickle's thickness of washer under the extension as it bolts back into the scoot....the allen bolt/screw is a hair too long and bottoms, otherwise.
I took a couple of 10mm split/washers and sprayed them flat black to match...and am looking for some black allen caps to finish off the chrome allen head. (or paint some chrome ones)

View from behind the mirrors with the extension.

Thanks for the great shots of the mirrors with the extenders on a Forza.

Re: photo mirror extensions
Damn now I got to buy them. I too am tired of looking at my shoulders in the mirror.
Re: photo mirror extensions
While the extensions do the job, they look awful.
Replacement mirrors with longer stems would be the better option imo.

Re: photo mirror extensions
Hmmmm... I've only had my Forza for about a month (with zero experience with scooters before this) and that was the first thing I noticed was how difficult it was going to be to see behind me. Yeah... I see getting a set of these very soon. Thanks for the link!
Re: photo mirror extensions
Please note.....I guess a lot of motorcycles and scooters have reverse threads only on one mirror, however - the Forza has reverse threads on both sides. So, you will need a pair of these to extend both mirrors.Vesper2112 wrote:Hmmmm...

And that allen screw that comes with the mirror will need a thick split-washer to keep from bottoming out in the scooter.

Re: photo mirror extensions
Yours is a better solution but this is a option if people are comfortable using them, they do help take the shoulder out of the mirror. They don't interfere with your normal crappy rear view so it's not like you will have to acclimate to using them right off.

When I ordered mine they came with a thick split-washer so maybe they listened to someone's comments

Re: photo mirror extensions
old thread resurrected....
Ordered a set of mirror extenders today from the seller linked above.
Looking forward to maybe seeing behind the PCX instead of shoulders.

Re: photo mirror extensions
Well I order one extension, and it turns out that the PCX has right-hand threads both sides, so now I need to find a bolt in order to fit the extension. Should have checked first.
