took some 3/8ths hose and cut up some small pieces
grabbed some washers
some 8x10 metric phillips screws
and painted it all

Why no mirrors? You going to the track?? I hate riding on the street without mirrors. Can't see the cops :evil:

I think I may try the bar-end mirrors & maybe add the "pig-spotters"

I actually dont think they would be any good @ spotting cops
but good for seeing right around ya

I think that with this would be a nice combo

yeah, I'm pretty much seting up for the track. rode for a couple days without them and it's alright and all but I've got some ideas for some fairing stay/mirror brackets I'm going to try and rig up out of aluminum. Sortof like a tribal boomerang that a small oval mirror attaches to at the angle part. one end of the boomerang goes on the mirror mounts, the other to the top windscreen mount.
ALso was considering the bar end mirrors. I've seen some better looking and smaller ones then what you show medic. I'll have to search up for them.
How much for them goofy ones?

you will learn to click on my pics @ some point
seems like either of those alone would be lacking
but the 2 combined may be better than OEM & look better, if its not too cluttered looking

thnks. I still remember seeing some more slick looking bar end mirrors before though. I'll take a peek in a min..

I heard these one are pretty sturdy,
which is the only reason I was looking @ them

Im not really sold, but I like them better than stock
I really like this, but its pretty blingy
& there really isnt any place to put the monitor
you stick the bullet out the back & use the monitor as a rear view

figure I might as well tell the tale now.....

Yes, you guys are right. need the mirrors to see what's going on behind you.


was going east on CI and getting ready to turn left on Z by this one little church near Eagle WI.

Well, I came in warm and hung off the seat just a little whle my brother played a small game of catch up but he was the one that noticed the light rack hiding in the corn field entrance, not me.

The Sheriff pulled out behind him as he made the turn. After the turn is a two filed stretch before the next driveway so I do a small check behind me and my brother is just getting done making his turn. Not able to see the sheriff due to him being blinded out by the church he's turning past.
I giver. Pulled off a two gear sit-down and wasn't satisfied. So I stood on up and gaver again in 2nd with a bob,rev,slip-o-the clutch and stood it up for another two gear wheelie but now it's a standup.
Set the front down about 200ft before the 1st driveway after the fileds.
and about 5 seconds later I turn around and look back.
DOH!. Sheriff 300 yrds behind my bro. Look again a second later now he's right behind my bro, lights still off, get past the second driveway I saw and looked back and nodded my head to the sheriff, looked forward to secure a safe stop, looked back lights now on. I pull over.
Waukesha county Sheriff pulls up next to me and does his best to keep professional and says to me... "Don't get too fancy out there now. I don't want to be scraping you up off the road later."

I said "no sir. Thanks. Glad you understood my judgement call of nothing and noone being around. Thank you. I'll take it easy, man. Thanks."

and he drove away.


yeah, I'm getting some bar end mirrors. and I'm also now knowing of a sneaky hiding spot too. :)

Yeah, not having mirrors on the street quickly leads to not having points on the DL. :D

those pig spotters are ugly. and for guys like me who don't live on the tank, i'd get a good shot of my chest.

mirrors are a must. too many of my buddies have gotten mowed down from behind at traffic lights. i got tapped once too...people can't fucking drive.

hahahahaha!!!!!!!! gnt, I do the same washer trick everytime I track prep my bike. When I met Nemisis at the track earlier in the year, his bike was not prepped yet. Lucky for him I had a few extra mirror blockoffs (read washers :lol: ) for him :wink:

I replaced my factory mirror bolts with stainless steel ones because the factory ones are very soft and prone to stripping. Don't ask me how I know this :oops:
