Hello mate and welcome to the zone.

Yes you can get mirror extenders for the rsv. I have a set which I'll be selling soon on eBay. The extenders are good but don't look right on the bike. It also makes no difference on the vision through the mirrors as anything over 30 and all I can see is a blurr:jack

The back brake is the same on all rsv's and there are several threads about the rear brake that you can do a search for to find out the best ways to improve it.

Your tyre pressures sound fine mate. I tend to run my tyres on the road at 36psi. not sure what that relates to in bar but it sounds about right what you have quoted.
