I wonder how the mirrors will be, as far as vibration ..
RE: Mirrors - Ben70_imp - 01-29-2020
If you are asking about the 500f mirrors, no noticeable difference for me as far as vibration. I think visibility is enhanced to the front, as well as the rear. You sacrifice the traditional look vs the lollipops, but with a clunky top box and windshield that's the least of my styling worries.

I was joking, Chuck, since both of my pictures look sideways. But I did seem to curse all of Southern California by joking about it. The winds kicked up something fierce, made for a bit of a squirrel ride home.
As far as vibration in the CB500 mirrors, none to speak of on my ‘13 at any speed or RPM.

These are some truly beautiful items, thanks for sharing, but way out of my price range.
I think I'll try some extender struts, maybe angled forward some to reduce overall width. Thanks for all who posted. Big shout-out to this forum.

Hey Charlie Bravo where are you located? I have a pair of extenders I don’t need and you’d be welcome to them. Silver though. Hit me with a PM if interested.

Thank you sir! I’ll be playing the Copa room Saturday nights starting February first. Keep the kids home for the late show, it gets a little blue. And please tip your waitress.

. looking back, I can see you were joking.. but be careful not to encourage bad mojo.. it makes me nervous, just thinking about my bike falling over.. I couldn't pick it up fast enough.. I did that once for a guy that had just crashed in a turn.. he was just sitting down, trying to compose himself.. when I picked it up, I got gas all over me.. no good deed goes unpunished, I guess..

Last time I helped to pick someone up, a girl had panic stopped on the 405 and fell over. She was pinned under her Fury chopper and traffic was honking at her. Nobody in a car could be bothered to stop and help.
I stopped traffic, pulled the bike off of her, and helped her to the shoulder, and went back for the bike. It was low-speed, but the wind was knocked out of her. She had trouble speaking, but was pointing to her pocket. I pulled out her phone from the pocket she was pointing to, and handed it to her. She struggled to unlock it and handed it to me with a number ringing so I could tell that person she had crashed.
Not to change the subject, but it was a good lesson to me to set up the emergency security bypass on my phone for my wife's number. I also put a big red note in the baggy in my jacket that holds my registration/insurance stuff, with my wife's phone number and my blood type. I figured whoever rolls up on me if I can't communicate will need that info.
And last time I dropped a bike, it was my Nighthawk 750 in front of my office. Several coworkers were out front, and I got distracted talking to them and didn't lower my side stand. The bike fell over. I played it cool and just walked into the office like I meant to do it.

You are a good person Gin60, and some sage advice indeed.
What's wrong with the others? Fortunately, not everyone is so self-absorbed.
