New F3-S, looking to improve lights and mirrors

[smicha6551]

I've just picked up an F3-S, trading up from a RS-S - much better. I do have two issues though. First - the mirrors are just about useless - any suggestions on how to fix this? The up and outs from Custom Dynamics don't list the F3-S as one of the models covered. Also, there's a number of Custom Dynamics lights I'd like to have installed but my local dealer doesn't sound too interested - does anyone know of a dealer in the Northern (or middle) VA area who'd done installs of them?

The F3 Mirrors do move back and forth on the arms and then the mirror itself moves to different angles. Im sure you know that since you had a RS. They work fine for me, I use them but never change lanes without the head turn check anyway.

Tried moving them around, but between my seating position and the extended bars, usually I can't get a view of them. I always turn my head to turn or change lanes but I'd still rather have mirrors for more than legal compliance. I believe I've seen someone with a left side mirror on the bar - I'm not sure how it was done.

What do you mean they move back and forth on the arms?

The Arms that the mirrors are attached to, move foward (towards the rider) and back (away from the rider)
