Long mirror arms

I have a 2015 Vaquero. Looking for mirrors with longer arms to see past my shoulder when wearing winter gear.

Thoughts ...

I've got the same extenders on mine, even with the Mean Streak bars I can see directly behind me with either mirror , no blind spots. I am a wide body too if any body is thinking those are for skinny people.

+1 on the mirror extenders. Worked great on my Meanie, just as effective on the Vaquero.

Another vote for the extenders. Work perfect.

At the risk of being just another "me too!" I can heartily recommend the mirror extenders. i put them on my Voyager and they made a huge difference in my field of view.

Just like everyone else here, 3 years with them on my 2012 Voyager. Big improvement. You may notice a bit of mirror vibration at certain speeds/RPM, but would not hesitate to buy them again.

I did something different and took some mirrors from a 900 Vulcan and put them on my 2011 Voyager. The stems are longer and I can see behind me just fine.

My wife complained about not being able to see with her stock mirrors so I got her a pair of "Emgo Universal "Big One" Motorcycle Mirrors". They are definitely bigger and provide a much larger field of view if you dont mind the "Dumbo" look of them. I added extenders to my stock mirrors and see way better. Bet both combined would be the bomb.

would love to see a picture with the extenders.
Also, I went to the amazon site and there are quite a few to decide from. Any suggestions to which one to go with? I see a Price difference between some of them. Thoughts on more expensive vs the cheaper ones?

Ask and you shall receive. Measured them also. Raises stem attach point 1.5 inches and takes them outward 2 inches. Note the trunk, I have visibility behind it now.

I like the air deflectors you made for the grips. Do they make a big difference? I ride year round and some nights coming home from work, these may be nice to have.
