I decided to go for the mirror extenders in the end.. at the very least I could give my own experiences to anyone else thinking about them.
Do they work? For me yes. I still see a smidge of my elbows but I can see so much more than before. Given me more confidence when overtaking etc. To give reference I am 6'3" and 16.5 stone. take a 2xl in a richa jacket so I am I would say a good size.
Fitting? Very easy to fit. I had them on in about 15-20 minutes. no issues at all. of course mirrors still fold in and operate as normal.
Worth it? I will say they are not worth the silly price tag. I know all SW motech stuff is expensive but £43 is just silly. They should be closer to £20 max.
Quality? They are a tough plastic machined into shape by the look of it with quality inserts to attach to the bike. I have no doubt saying they will never fall apart.
Hard to say if I would buy again.. They do work well but just wish there were a cheaper version available.

Lord,
Grant me the WD-40 to move those things that are stuck, the Duck tape to fasten those things that are loose, And the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen
