Mirror Extenders

Got my 2nd mirror extenders. These are good across all Yamaha detachable type mirrors. Compared these to the Chinese types, these are neater and cost much lesser than Koubalink’s.

They help increase visibility and widen the rear angle way better than OEM’s short position. This does not replace checking blind spot, you must check your blindspot at all times. It does increase comfort and line of sight. Must have!

Handle Bar swap

When I got the bike, it came installed with an SW Motech bar back riser, which alters the steering awfully and pushing me far back. I quickly removed it and kept it stock. I went on to search for new handle bars and compared it online. I choose the Answer Pro Taper Evo bend as this bar raise the height, having similar sweep and pull back to stock bars.

After adjusting the new handlebar, I should say they are brilliant! It is more comfortable and less attack stance, which was my objective for easy U-turns and a bit more neutral handling. I sure misses the sporty feel from the stock handlebar, but the Evo is much better for touring.

Over due update

I had been missing for a few months due to health issues. But I am back up and will keep this journal going on!

Here are some things I done recently and riding plans

Changed oil & coolant, swapped handlebar, purchase an auxiliary switch, decided on panniers and ordered mirror extenders

Stay tuned!
