    Yes we use these and we love them. I had the same reservations at first but I worked with Burkhart Cycle to get him to make a set for my 5th Gen a couple years ago. He now sells them for the 6th Gen. They are 18.00 plus shipping and they ship from OHIO. He makes them with a CNC machine so they are not homemade looking, very high quality. According to his website he has 66 sets in stock.
    Here is the linky
    Honda VFR800 1 mirror spacers, extenders 2002-2008 - $18.00 : burkhartcycle.com, Motorcycle Parts and Accessories

    I do wish I'd seen this thread sooner, picked up a nice set of extenders from Twisted Throttle. They're more expensive but the design and appearance are worth it IMO...

    Da CLIK!

    It is surprising how much difference they make isn't it.

    I don't know if you have access to a metal brake but the eliminator is super easy to fab up out of some 18 or 20 ga s/s. It's a 90 deg bend, 1" drop and a 45 deg bend. Like I said , if you can get on a brake.
