I got fed up of looking for some second hand Tuono mirrors and was not prepared to pay £60+ delivered for a pair of new ones and still not knowing if they were going to be any better.
I have now bought some extendable arm mirrors from Busters for £24.95 for the pair plus £4.99 delivery, M and P stock the same mirrors aswell.

The mirrors fitted to the standard arm length are about the same size as the standard Zed mirrors, if you fit the shorter of the extensions, it puts the mirrors out about an inch and if you fit the longer extension on it's own that puts the mirrors out a further inch and a half.
I went with just the shorter extension and the view behind me is a lot better, up to 70mph and the view in the mirrors is fine, 80mph + (on my private runway) and the image gets a bit blurry, but then that happened with the standard Zed mirrors.
The only slight problem i found with the mirrors was that the internal thread inside the extensions had not been cut right to the bottom of the hole, so when the extensions were screwed on, they left and unsightly gap and you could see the threads of the male end, luckily i got hold of a M10X1.25mm thread tap and cut the thread right to the bottom of the hole.
