Better mirrors?
Permalink  
 


I hate the mirrors my DT has, stupid circle things, they're useless!   Can anyone recommend some decent ones?  The rectangle sort smile

ive got kinda oblong ones, oval shaped, they look OKAY better than the crappy ones i have in the spares box, want different ones though, ive tried tightening them but the wind at 60mph blows them backwards lol pisses me off, doesnt blow them all the way back, just that annoying amount so all i can see is my arm n shoulder lol

I was going to try without too, but I can't for the life of me get my right mirror off :( The left one comes off by hand.

probably that your turning it the wrong way,as sat on bike, the left mirror is left to loose,the right mirror is right to loose, they got different threads smile.gif

Seiki mate, your deffo better off with mirrors mate especially where you live, sorry for being a goody goody, but your thank me for it one day with all that traffic comming out all over the place you deffo will need mirrors,...........scooter mirrors are cool, and look well good on the DT's I had them first (pic 9 posts up) but they really are too small and you cant see out of them well, plus they dont really stretch that far so you can hardly see behind you, your best bet anyone who wants mirrors are to go for the ones me and moggs have, they still look stylish and not to high but also come out so you can see behind you!!!!!

Almost exactly the same as patmans. These are the ones i bought. Not the best of sight in them but only ever have a quick ganders for police or overtaking anyway..
