Isn't "counter clockwise" one of those conveyor-belt serving things they (I'm told) have in sushi bars?
(Although I guess they're "clockwise" in the Antipodes!)

I propose resuscitation of the terms "widdershins" and "counter-widdershins" in order to eliminate confusion.
Anyway, about these extenders.........

well, so strange that this "For Sale" thread ran so far off subject. The way I see it, you either want them or you don't. If you do, ask related questions, if you don't, there is no need to say anything unless it's complimentary. Negative views are better sent as PM's or not at all and threads like "You can buy them cheaper" serve no purpose, especially after they have already been bought.

They arrived today. I have't fitted them yet, even though it will only take a few minutes but I have been busy. Thank you Rusty  :thumb:

Ah yes, only just noticed it actually started as a for sale 'thread'(no pun intended).
Sorry for the Uber tangent, you'll love having extenders, I never knew I wanted them until I bought a bike that already had them 👍.

@ The Doctor 46, the item was sold by the fourth post, the rest of the thread was 'banter', it's something we do on this site.
If the item hadn't been sold it would have kept the thread 'open' and prevent it getting lost way down the page.  :)

But would you install the left hand threaded one on the port side so wind pressure would tighten it?
And let’s get into starboard and larboard next 🤪
