GPZ 500 1st Gen Mirror extension I have a GPZ 500 and the stock mirrors are terrible. you have to lift up your arm to see whats behind you. I designed and printed this bracket to extend and raise my stock mirrors. It works great and I can now see behind me at all times. Mine are printed in white which suits the bike as it's blue and white but black would probably suit most other colour bikes. Print Settings Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: I used 0.2 mm Infill: I used 20% Notes: I used PLA as it's what I had in the printer but ABS might be more suited to the job. If you have no problems with warping then I would advise using a higher infill than 20% but I can't go higher than 20% or I end up with a banana shaped bracket. Just print 2 of these brackets. Then take out the 2 screws beneath the rubber shroud that hold the mirror in place. Get 2 longer M6 screws (mine were 60mm long). Replace the mirrors using the bracket and the longer screws. If you use regular M6 X 60 bolts you will need to cut a slot in the end of them with a dremel to screw them in with a flat head screwdriver as the bolt head goes into the recess on the mirror bracket. I would advise trying to find M6 screws if you can.
