Anyone add mirror extensions to your scoot?

[Snoopzilla]

My biggest complaint riding my Like 150i is I just can’t get the mirrors to the right setting to see well.  Thinking about getting mirror extensions but no idea what thread size these are

I have aluminum 2 inch extenders on my agility for a mirror bracket to clear the bodywork. My mirrors used an 8mm bolt.

If the threads are 8mm right hand thread----probably original old Honda CB750 from Dennis Kirk are cheapest way to go.

Your mirrors, like many are too short.
I really dislike the billet mirror extenders.
But I demand to ride with a good view of what's going on behind me!

I know at least one LIKE owner is using Vespa mirrors on his LIKE200i.
If the 1st & 2nd gen likes use a similar mirror - you might want to look into buying a pair of Vespa mirrors. They were about $20 ea. - but with the DT added fees on imports, think they are @$30 now. Come in gloss black, or chrome.
They are very good quality, and they don't look cobbed on.

Short one is stock KYMCO mirror taken off of my LIK200iLX. Longer one is stock Vespa/Piaggio.




If you're really in need of longer mirrors - you could get a set of my goofy looking Italian long-stemmed mirrors. I love them.

Never even thought of that,  but I am going to take one of my girlfriends vespa Sprint mirrors and try it on for size and I might just end up ordering a set if they fit.  Thanks

I have no problem with the stock mirrors on my Like 150i.  I can see part of  my shoulders in the mirrors, but still have a pretty good field of view.
If I want to remove my shoulder from the view, I just lean over a bit.  (I did raise them about 1 inch when I installed a windshield).

But for some, stock mirrors are just too short on many scooters.
The view to the rear should be just as unobstructed as it is to the front....without arm lifts or shoulder dips....
Quick glances are all the time one has in many cases. Flick of the eyes, and back to negotiating city congestion.
Sorry. Preaching here.
Mirrors must work for me - or they're history.

Absolutely, I added a wide angle mirror below the standard for when going through traffic I can watch the road and mirror at the same time without turning my head.

On my People 150 the only view I get is of my arms. I just ordered a set of long stem  mirrors from Bike Master.

Just got my long stem mirrors in and installed for the People 150.  What a difference I can actually see traffic behind me. Forgot to add the Bike Master mirrors were $22. for the pair with free shipping on ebay.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread - Can you share the info on those bikemaster mirrors? Or how they were listed? Model number would be sawheet.  Thanks in advance.
