well i rode without the mirrors for about a year and can say "you dont know what you got till its gone". The main thing about not having them for me was not regular traffic cause i would just look before changing lanes (it becomes pretty natural after a bit) but spotting the cops tring to sneek up on ya. Looks pretty bad when your going about 100mph and decide to look back and theres a coop with the lights on about 20yards from ya.

 

I know what you meen about looking back.I just seems to me that taking your head and turnning it around to see whats comming up behind you is risky.I mean your actually taking your eyes off the road.I have done it and thought about and figured there has to be a safer way.Mirrors is one way that works best for me.

 

I took the bike out for a ride without the mirrors and i gotta tell you, i need my mirrors back on. that shiat ain't safe. i had to look back all the time and the worst part was, i couldn't tell if there was a cop behind me or not.

 

I have both if anyone is interested. www.myrtlewest.com

 

I have the pig spotters with the incorperated blinkers on my 06 1k they are sick, goin against what everyone said. They are better than havin no mirrors at all. At night they are the sweetest they have a red ring around the mirror itself that blinks along with the led on the front. They are VERY easy to install and wire up. Go with them you wont regret it.

 

let's see. tiny useless non-adjustable mirrors that cost way too much? yeah i'm going to have to say NAY. i guess they are a decent option for guys running block-offs, because technically they are mirrors and legal. but any other mirror is superior for it's intended use: to see objects behind you.
