Default Pig Spotters? Yay or Nay?

i'm thinking of getting the pig spotters but i wanted some feedback from you guys first. is it even worth the money? i mean, does it even really work that well? i'm just so curious since it has a tag price of a bill.

as far as functional mirrors go they are basically useless good though if you dont use your mirrors but still want a street legal set of mirrors so the man wont give you a hard time.

I would take my chance with getting a ticket before i put that junk on my bike. Check your local laws, u may not need mirrors and even if you do not all police know if you need mirrors or not. If you do get the ticket it should be just a fix it ticket (meaning fix it and show the correction to a law enforcement officer and it cost like 6 bucks..... good luck

I know Nietzsche stated "that which is behind you is not important" but I'm certain he wasn't referring to traffic. Pretty much always check the mirrors and do a head check before I go squirtin across the lanes -- got bit one time and was lucky not to die. Once bitten twice shy -- use da mirrors

They also make a TINY camera system with monitor that fits in yer windscreen if you are willing to spend $400.00 to get rid of them. Personaly, i dont hate mine that much yet. I looked at those pig spotters too and as much as i tried to talk myself into them, i just think they look like donkey mash.
