HONDA CBF1000 S 06-14 For side Mirrors Extenders Riser Adaptor
in ebay search. I have those on Mk1 and are the least to make the mirrors effective again imho.

I dunno of the cb1300 mirrors will reach further out, but the extenders make it wide enough already for easy filtering.

(Interesting to note there's over a thousand views of this thread. I wonder how many people made use of it and said nothing). :084:

Do they fold?
As in without loosening the single mounting bolt, for filtering parking etc?

I thought I'd change the look a bit as well while I was at it, so got some that were a more angular shape. I think whichever you go for though its a good mod for £20.

edit: Just been out to the stable to check mine and half the stock CBF1000 mirror head protrudes beyond the width of the handlebar, with the CB1300 mirrors the entire head would protrude. Isn't that just too wide for the stock, sans pannier, CBF1000? Or is the idea similar to the whisker test for pannier set ups, if the whiskers mirrors fit through so will the body panniers?

My mirror stems measure 142 vs 192mm, assuming the mirrors are angled at a 45° angle it means the bike becomes a total of 71mm wider 2x50Cos(45). They are definitely the widest part of the bike now, I've only had them on a week or so, so can't really compare, and the traffic isn't back to normal here anyway, but the limited filtering I have done has been fine although you can feel the bike is a bit wider at the front. If you're regularly commuting through heavy or traffic I think this mod will slow you down so agree its probably not something you'd find useful, although its not prevented me filtering thus far, as with anything its a trade off which depends on the type of roads or riding you tend to do.
I'd be interested to know if they are still the widest part of the bike if you have panniers on at which point they'd become a useful whisker test.

As an alternative I currently run a pair of Oxford mirrors with a oxford thread adapter between the OEM mount and the mirror (different thread sizes).
Mirror can be pushed upwards which makes all the difference for tight assess for me, but the arm itself doesn't move without being loosened.
Probably not as good as O.E.M but I literally can't use the O.E.M ones due to width.
May help someone re filtering etc.
In the picture below their folded inwards, the mirror itself is on a ball pivot.

As for this 'whisker test', I tend to use my eyes & brain to calculate if the bike will fit through a gap and if it's safe, or not.
As they say, "just because it fits doesn’t mean you should put it there". :028:

If that's the case this may have been a better option when I dropped the CBF in Storm Ciara breaking the right hand mirror glass.

Cbf mirrors were generally OK but often found myself looking at my gear clad elbows rather than the road close behind me! For £18.95 delivered the longer armed mirrors really do improve rear view effectiveness.They do mean an increase in real width of your bike so not perhaps ideal for regular filtering .I adjust mine so they will yield at anything above oncoming airflow force.Ed.
