Cheers for those Steve.....could be a winner.

Yup.........same issue as the GS - bike goes through the gap but the mirrors won't. :grumble
I'm fairly broad shouldered so straightening the bar will not help. Not a bad call on a fabrication shop having a bash but would like to try and find some straight replacements first.......if they exist.
Maybe a bit of both? Straitened bar and a bit chopped off, in essence, your moving the mirror over towards the centre of the bike, but still at same height, but then if your saying your broad shouldered, that might not help, you could try underbar mirrors? I'm not a fan off them but if you look at most tourers, pan and the big bmw's have them on the fairing but you look under the bars to see in them?

Nearly...looking to move over and drop the height to as close to bar level as I can. Should be able to look behind between body and arm. The Pan type under bar jobs give a good rear vision but like you i'm not a fan - feel like i'm looking too far down from my line of sight.
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
