Mirror Extensions 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I have a 2003 Silverado. The problem is that I am quite tall so when I look into the mirrors, I get a nice view of my elbows. Any ideas where I can get an extension to either raise them a couple of inches or move them out a couple of inches?

I have an 03 Silverado and I am 6'3" and I don't have any problem. Harley has long stem mirrors but mounting them would be a problem. Harley mirror stems have a long thread that reaches through the mount with a nut underneath and of course they are Americam threads. Ours are short metric threads that screw into the mount and our right hand mirror is a left hand thread.

You might try putting a small fisheye (dome shaped mirror)on them till you find an extension...Coug

I just looked at the mirrors on my own bike. The stem is threaded on both ends and the miirror screws on one end and the other end mounts on the bike. You can get stems made any length you want, and use your original mirrors.

Any idea where I can get stems made. I think one is a right hand thread and the other a left.

I would think that any decent machine shop would be able to make them. All they need to do is take 3/8 rod, cut to length, thread, and bend. The rod can be stainless steel and you can use as is; or it can be plain steel and you can get it plated or powder coated.
