Relation mirrors and a person's height?

[agg211]

What's the relation between a person's height and the mirrors on a scooter?

I noticed that when I rented a scooter in Thailand, I didn't feel comfortable with what could be seen in the mirrors.

Maybe they're more suitable for Thai people, and that taller (foreign) people need a different mirror, adjusted to their height?

Seriously ???...   You know you can adjust the mirrors right ???  

 

Someone at 180cm is likely to be sitting about 8-10cm higher than someone who is 160cm. 

Any difference from being 'further away' from the mirror is negligible. 

 

 

Have you ever ridden any other motorcycle before coming to Thailand ?

No motorcycle mirrors give an excellent view of the rear due to width and obstruction (arms), poorer field of view, vibration etc...

The stock mirrors are usually fine, are for me, Thai's sometimes remove them or have smaller versions
