Yea i like all that chopped out bikes and big fat tires but i do agree. They do lack in the overall performence.

I personally think those mirrors are Fugly... someone I know has them.

Alright so the mirrors don't have a good reputation, I emailed with Tristen at tripageled.com and he said they have not heard anything good about visibility but the site says they updated the first version from 1 3/4 viewing area to 2 7/8 viewing area that this new version has great viewing, so not sure if these are good products are not but THEY SURE LOOK COOL :D

I don't think I'd be able to see anything behind me...

With the stock mirrors, I'm able to adjust them so that I can see the lane beside me and when I left my elbow, I see behind me in my own lane.

With these (moved in several inches from the stock position), it seems that the angle of the mirror would be adjusted so that you'd only be able to see the lane beside you.

On a motorcycle, I'm more worried about keeping an eye on the person in the lane directly behind me than I am my "blind spot". It's easy enough to glance over when changing lanes...

Those are Pig Spotter Mirrors (http://www.1tail.com/sa/c/Pig_Spotter_Mirrors_Available_with_LED_Turn_Signals.htm), about $99 a set with the LEDs in them and completely useless from what I have read...

Cheers! M2

Looks cool......that's about it. I would keep it in the garage and off the road....

[hondapowered]

Yes sir totaly useless!!! sat on a busa that had them and I could only see my arms, I had to bend my elbow to try and see behind me or take my hand off the bars all together USELESS :confused2: I suggest RIZOMA for a large viewing area

Hondapowered: I've looked at RIZOMA's web site. Does anyone know where you can buy their stuff? Does anyone have their mirrors and do they work better than the stock ones? I can't hardly get my stock mirrors adjusted to see much of anything. Thanks.

Thanks.. Nice, but expensive! Does anyone know if they actually improve site lines. I see Hondapowered has some in his gallery.

brought back from the dead... I still think those pig spotters are FUGLY! Rizomma's are nice, I love the Magical Racing carbon ones, too damn expensive though.

[O.A. for life]

the pig spotters use a small dome mirror like what you put in the corner of a truck mirror. they suck to look through but were more designed for people wanting to get rid of the mirrors and still be legal having some sort of mirror

WOW huge difference in site lines , Tremendous difference over the stock mirrors. I dont have to raise my shoulder and look thru my armpit to see behind me. The way these adjust you can spread the wingspan so to speak way out. They do require some carefull adjustment but once locked down they are awesome and dont move at all speed rated by me at about approx 165 mph :evilgrin: The blue glass is a nice touch also, very ferrari like. The adjustmenst are right at the block off plate for both vertical and horizontal and then again up at the mirror housing for the angle. The mirrors look small because of the shape but there is a lot more glass in there than you think. People say all the time... ya they look nice but I bet you cant see as well as the stock ones, so they are not very safe.... I say well take a look for yourself before you make judgement and then they say woa , wow your right it must be because they are further out and away from the bike than the stock ones. That brings up the only down side to these mirrors . They are much further out and away form the bike than people judge and they tend to walk right into them and becuase all the adjustments are a metric allan key I sometimes have to ride home a little miffed becuase I can no longer see perfectly after someone has bumped them. The mirrors are ridgid and not easily to moved once tightened down but this can happen. I have over 15K in miles on these and they are perfect no problems and look exactly like they day I got them. I would buy these agian for sure $$$$ well spent! :D

Thanks much for the info, Hondapowered!! What model mirrors did you install. Also, love the look of those Rizoma grips...did you keep the stock bar ends or buy different ones?

Thanks!

[hondapowered]

I purchased the retro in natural finish , billet grips, and the bar ends in natural finish all rizoma , thanks for the compliment :D oh btw the bar ends seem to help with vibration just like the grips definetly added a little wieght I did over 400 mils this past sunday and just as I was getting close to hoome did the numbness thing start happen :p
