Default Question about mirrors ....... again !!!!!!

Considered getting the pigspotters for my bike , ruled it out because I am hearing noone can see with them . Here's the rub , I can't see with the factory mirrors without tucking my elbows in anyways !!!!!!!!!!!!! or flapping them out and looking between my arms and my ribs .Any thoughts ? suggestions ? hints ? tips ?
Maybe I should get them after all .Whatya'll think ?

You can get extenders for the mirrors. They make them stick at a little more so you can see with out moving your elbows. or you can get some ZX-14 mirrors those things stick out a lot.

Try some bar end mirrors. Small, compact, cleans up the lines of your bike.

you could trun you head back when you look behind you. Yeah our mirrors are pretty useless. i do what everyone else does just move my elbows a little to see.

Hey take it easy on the cap locks no reason to yell bro. I got mine set up pretty good don't really have to move my elbows to see traffic in the lanes next to me. Just if I want to see what is directly behind me in my lane. You should always give a head look before changing lanes. You don't trust just your mirrors in your car or truck do you?
