But i wasn't being squidish. He was trying to get the person in front of me but didn't have his siren going. At a stop sign he hit his short burst horn and i look around. He is all pissed and i'm like WTF. I tell him i ddin't see him behind me he's like your equipment is defective then. So my question is (keep in mind i'm wide up top) How do i set my mirrors to see directly behind me? Will pig spotters work better? He only gave me a warning and a ticket for no insurance which i have just didn't put the new cards in.
 
Pig Spotters are about as useful as the 20 HP ebay chip...

sweet bro thanks
 
I've been using the bar end mirror for over three years and love it.
 
I have one mirror for freeway riding and one aimed higher for somewhat sitting up. I can still pretty much use both mirrors in any positions. It just requires raising a head on one and ducking a bit for the other. I like to know what the idiot behind me is doing, especially if she's is texting while driving.

word, saw that enough today alone
 
i did bars ends with my cbr... it did a damn good job at seeing behind me... but then again ima small guy... hope you find something you like
 
I use my stock mirrors w. little blind spot sticky mirrors on the inside part of the mirror(that shows me my chest ha)- I don't know how you guys ride without them or with those bar end mirrors. I change lanes constantly and like to know where the cars are around me. Plus they are extremely helpful when johnny law is behind me!
 
Turn your head jk I seriously look around a lot because I havn't ridden with mirrors in a long time. Thinking about getting a bar end for those times when I'm sittin at a red light and a dump could rear end me and I wouldn't have seen it coming.

IMO, the bar ends are better than stock mirrors. I see great behind me and to the sides. I even converted my brother to using them. He hated his stock mirrors on his 09 CBR. My bro-in-law just picked up a 07 zx6r and can't see behind him due to his jackets air flow. He'll be switching soon too.
