I need extended mirrors for my Ulysses. Over half the mirror with all my winter gear on is obscured. I checked J&P Cycle including metric and bought what appears to be the longest stem but only marginally better and one side appears to be left handed threads. Any ideas? Thanks.

There was someone last month that posted on this about a mirror swap to a rectangular one that they picked up on ebay for about $10. Might try a search

that may have been me - the new mirrors don't extend out any wider than the stock - they are just better looking (IMO)

Thanks for the good ideas. The extenders look the best right now.

I have ordered the extenders. When I get them installed I will post a report. XXL Darien with fleece doesn't leave much in the way of usuable mirrors.

Biker Bob,
What did you ever do about the extenders?
I've decided that is what I need as well.
Yours is the only reference I found about the issue from almost two years back.
Thanks.

I got a set from Twisted Throttle. Very straightforward and a BIG help.

Got a part#? I looked at their site, the one set I found there, it clearly stated at the bottom of the page that "these will not fit Buell, Harley etc."
Thanks.

I just visited the Twisted Throttle web site and could not find what you quoted about Buells. Could you send a link? I'm using these:

"This item does NOT fit Buell and Harley-Davidson bikes with male 5/16" diameter, 18 TPI (fine thread) handlebar mirror mounts."

That's not what you quoted. If you had, I would have pointed out that the Uly has coarse M-10 threads and they will work.

I have asked them in the past to put the Uly on the list to save me these kinds of problems.
