Re: i want to see whats behind me
what about bar end mounted ones?
you could change the gearing on the sprockets for taller gearing?

Re: i want to see whats behind me
I think Suzuki 750 mirrors could be made to fit ... I think they're 2-3mm bigger / smaller bolt spacing . I was going to fit them on my 3en2 but haven't got round to it.

Re: i want to see whats behind me
I fitted R6 mirrors to mine.
needed to use the fzr mirror base mounting piece. unbolted the mickey mouse ears from the base.
Increased the size of the fixing hole in the bottom of the r6 mirror arm.
I think I needed a couple of packing washers and voila.
long mirror arms that push the mirror view well past the elbows and a nicer shape mirror (IMO)
took about 1hr and totally reversable
