read the print on the bottom........objects in mirror no longer matter.


Actually, do like having them for on the street.

 

Most of the people that remove the mirrors have a video cam
on the back of the bike and a screen mounted on the trees. I'm thinking of going that route.

 

Do you have any info or links we can check out? I've searched but came up empty.

 

I took mine off, not much of a reason, looks nicer and don't rally use my mirrors, I look back to double check all the time anyways.

 

get bar end mirrors.

 

i thought of taking mine off because of the vibrations but i need them for the street too many dumb soccer moms in minivans out there.

 

Never used mine so i took them off.

 

I think they are very useful for the street though I rarely allow a car to pass me (just too dangerous everyone is on a cell phone these days and may not even see me). I don't really like any other mirrors I've seen or maybe I would consider replacing them.

 

To each their own.. I couldn't image what it would be like without my mirrors..

I do look over my shoulder but I love being able to just glance to see what's behind me.

 

I like mirrors for when I ride with others, especially in the front so I can check to see how everyone is staying together.

 

yea i love the look without mirrors too, but i use mine to much on the streets. I took them off for like a month or two on my old bike and did fine without, but endup putting them back, because, i was constal turning my head to look back.

but like tomv12 said, when riding in a group and your leading its so easy with mirrors.

 

I can't see squat out of my mirrors without moving my arms, but I do use them all the time to check for people behind me (incl smokey!) and on group rides.

Still thinking about bar-end mirrors tho.........

uglier than the stockers

 

I can see more out of my bar end mirror then stock

 

Like mentioned for each their own but I like to think better safe then sorry. They are there for a reason and it only takes a sec. to lower your elbow and glance into the mirror. I also do the double take over the shoulder especially when merging because the mirrors do not give the full view. I will admit it does make the bike look alot cleaner but I just don't feel comfortable without them.

 

:iamwithst

 

Some people do it for aerodynamics. Less drag, not much but every bit counts right? People that do this are usually topping it out. But that doesnt mean that if someone takes off the mirror they are gonna top it out! ++ It looks nicer!

 

There's lots of options out there to pick from. Lot of cool custom mods for mirrors on here as well!:thumbup

My personal pick when I was riding was the bar end mirror...:rock Once I got used to it, I loved it!!!:thumbup

 

Cuz when you take the mirrors off it looks more like this.

OMG, IM IN LOVE!!

 

I will admit that's clean but riding around in the Bay Area with race plastics and no mirrors will just give a cop a "Stiffy" to pull it over in a "Hott Second" :lol

 

OR LIKE THIS :lol

 

I had issues with the stock mirrors with seeing around my elbows, I kicked around bar end mirrors but I always split lanes in the summer approaching the bridges (live on Cape Cod) and this would not be the hot setup. So I got a set of these in black-> http://www.pjsparts.com/catalog/pro...ct_info.php?cPath=59_52&products_id=182&osCsid=2c80fb6b8aedf4005aa99a9df0d55f0c better view, zero blur and drop dead sexy, not to mention the blue tinted glass goes well with my blue bike. Did I mention they are a work of art.....

Lets see actual pictures of your bike with them on :thumbup

 

My mirrors saved me--I saw an old grandma coming up way too fast behind me at a red, so I split the lane between the two cars in front of me. My mirrors stay. I wouldn't mind one of those cameras and a screen on the dash for even just a little bit more visibility.

 

i like the look of the mirrorless bikes, i always look behind me anyways to double check anyways, had a bar end for a while too

 

I didnt like the stock. Looked bug like. I find these new mirrors nicer on my eyes, actually have better viewing, and are safer, but virtue of two more blinkers for shitheads to take notice of yours truly.

I think MV Agusta did a decent job on OE mirrors.

Here's a semi-frontal and rear facing shot.

I really was happy to see how well easy they mounted and wired up.

 

They look great on your bike, nice bike too.

 

When i'm hammered in a corner, the last thing i need is a reflection in a mirror. You would be amazed at how fast the brian can take in with a quick look over the shoulder....No mirrors for me.

 

Believe me...you'll get used to it. I can almost guarantee that I probably have more traffic to contend with than anyone else in this thread as I ride in the DC area all the time....and it sucks!! The only time I kind of miss them is when I'm sitting at a stoplight, or coming up to a stoplight, and have to slow down suddenly. You never know if the person behind you is going to try and stop as well, or speed up. I just usually look back real quick, just to make sure.
