Go down and buy a pair of mirror extensions......probably won't be all you ever add to your scooter.

Mirror extenders work great! They are designed to raise your mirrors about 2 or 3" up. I had that same problem because my shoulders are so wide, then installed them, see fine now. I also added some little adjustable spot mirrors that you can get at Harbor Freight for $0.99 and put them on the inside edge since that is still just all shoulder view, now I don't have any blind spots even 6" to my rear. Or you can do like my son and buy the mirrors that have the longer arms than the stock ones do, they only raise your mirrors a little but extend them out further to the sides.

Being a wide body, I had the same problem not being able to see. When I bought the new limited, I had then put on the split vision mirrors. So much better.

I had the same problem. Solved it with mirror extensions from J&P Cycle.

Turn your head and look. No matter what mirrors and extensions you buy, you are going to have blind spots.

You might consider these mirrors from Kuryakyn. They position about one inch longer than the stock mirrors. I think they are called the Magnum or something like that.
