Forza 350 mirrors

Post by Philipg »

Hi I have just recently bought my Forza 350 2022 form the superbike factory second hand .
This may sound stupid but how do I adjust the side mirrors . The right side is fine but the left is way out

The mirrors are utterly useless 💩, only adjustment is the car style gimbal behind the glass.👎

I've fitted blindspot stick on's which change the view from lethally useless to uncomfortable but the only cure seems to be fitting blocks between the fairing and mirror stalks to actually move them outwards 🙄

Unfortunately, as Andy points out, the only downside of the Forza is the mirrors. I have two blind spot round mirrors attached to the top outside corners of the mirrors just to give a bit more “scope”. Not brilliant but some help. Like everything else you do get used to it but a bit more design thought from Mr.Honda would have been welcome

I, too, have stuck little blindspot mirrors on my Forza.
I suspect these Japanese bikes are made with Japanese riders in mind.
Years ago, my uncle took delivery of a Hillman Hunter.
My aunt complained that the passenger seat felt too small - that, is too short from front to back.
It transpired that the seat was for an export-to-Japan car and, therefore, smaller.
I think I've remembered that right. ;)

I haven't fitted blind spot mirrors to mine yet but I probably will. I always do the 'lifesaver' look over my shoulder but it would be nice to have the extra view in the mirrors.

I do a Lifesaver before moving off but tend not to take my eyes far from the front when travelling at 70 MPH on a motorway. ;)

I do a lifesaver every time. Whatever speed I am doing. I was taught to do it on my RAC/ACU training course (who remembers those? Hello 60 plussers) in 1977 by a 20 year veteran. Who obviously knew what he was talking about. But the higher speed I am doing the quicker the look.
