Another mirror thought -- the PO added convex stick-on mirrors on
both the outside mirrors on my 85 GL.  This was very handy for seeing
the blind spot as well as traffic further back and to the side.  I
put them on my 91 GL, as that PO hadn't.  I think a good size is
about 3-4 inches.  They can go in a corner and don't blot out the
regular view as much as you might think.

One takes off the mirror part and then breaks (saws) off 3-4 mm of the "stop tabs" on the base plate so that the mirror will move more. I've not seen this discussed in the last year so I thought I'd post it. I plan to make this modification this spring as I need more mirror adjustment for a good view rearward. Malcolm S
