    We all know the mirrors on Fireblades are crap but does anyone know if it is possible to get wider mirrors. Won't be cheap I know but I hate doing that tuck your elbow in and crane your neck thing.

    I've been tempted to try those little 1" stick on convex blisters in the top corners of mine.

    I'm suspicious they'll be crap, but for a few quid it might be worth a test.

    The mirrors on my blade seem fine. You may just need to move your elbows out the way :)

    I think the Mirrors are very good on my blade out of the 20+ bikes I've owned these are by far the best!

    I'm the opposite, can't see Fek all outa mine unless I pull my elbows right in or I stick em further out and peer through the hole this makes with my body.

    Don't remember my old Blade being this shyte, it's downright dangerous TBH and my biggest complaint about the new bike so far.
