If you dont want the wopping great big round type on long stems, have a look at some of the mirrors you can get for scoots, I'm using ones off my lads Speedfight, till I can get some Ducati Hypermotard ones that fold into the handguard, daft crazy prices for them at the minute.

yeah i like them ones was looking for some but silly $$$$$

NEV · Guru

Aye lovely looking but too pricey, hopefully some chinese company will do a copy of them in the near future.

the ones patman had were koso wings iv had a pair myself they looked real good but went floppy in a few weeks with high speeds so your always adjusting them its a bit dangerous if im honest i spent more time adjusting them than i did concentrate on actually riding

does look better without but i agree its a lot safer to have em on or at least have one on there. i had to buy some more cos my instructor wernt happy i just had the one lol he kept making me shoulder check for a substitute.

needless to say iv got 2 on there now , chrome skeleton hands an there not bad at all handle the vibrations, so im ready for my lesson on monday now .

see how long they last i usually end up breakin one on the door frame pulling my bike in an out of the house
