do you mean spacers to go between the mirror and the fairing? Why don't you just get a bit of delrin sheet and cut a bit out?

to make it so i can see out of my mirrors as my elbows are in the way or can you buy longer arms from somewhere?

Well if your mirrors are like mine, you could either space out the mounting point like I suggested, or weld an extra bit into the arm. I suspect that the CBR arms are probably a bit more involved though.

Buy a piece of 10mm thick delrin sheet (acetal) off fleabay, make up a template the same shape as the base of your mirror and cut out half a dozen pieces. Drill some holes to suit the bolt pattern and fit three each side between mirror and fairing with some extra length bolts bolts. The extra inch plus that this'll give you will make quite a difference.

Delrin is good cos it's easy to cut, drill and shape with normal hand tools (hacksaw, jigsaw, file etc.) but plenty strong enough to do the job. Go for it and save yourself a bob or two.

Caravan shop. Wink

Just Google "mirror extenders" loads on there but they won't make much difference. Better relying on your lifesavers.

Any of these any good?

Not sure exactly what model your bike is, but the manufacturer's (German) site is here (don't worry, it's partly in English). Motohaus should be able to get hold of it for you if they don't already list it.
