Default Mirrors V.2

i can not stand mirrors, they are hideous! they take away from the sexy lines a motorcycle posses

mirrors are nothing more than a convenience. if you arent constantly scanning your surroundings, or turning your head when youre switching lanes, mirrors wont save you anyway.

sex!

Looks sleek. But i'd never take off my mirrors for street use. I like to keep an eye on the cagers behind me as well as in front without whippin my head around every 10 seconds.

Ditto. Mirrors are a legal requirement for a reason. But as long as you're happy!

I am 60 years old and been thrown off a dirt bike in every possible way, I need a tool to put my socks on! There is no way I can look over my shoulder. I MUST run mirrors, in fact I run extendable mirrors from slikdesignsusa. I want to KNOW what is behind me, what you don't know can kill you!

i bought shorty's for my bike, they look the same as stock ones but these alow me to lane split between cars without having to worry about taping a car with them, but defenetly wouldn't sacrifice my life for style, the bike is sexy enough as it is.

I know this is kinda off topic, but what kind of ZG screen is that? It doesn't look like it has as tall of a bubble as some I have seen. I have been looking for one like this.

Thanks

Just a question: While your head is turned to look behind you... What's in front of you? Hopefully the picture your mind took before you turned your head hasn't changed much in the 88 feet your bike has travelled in the 1 second your head was turned (88 feet / second = 60 mph).

If you're ready to sacrifice safety for style...

Maybe you shouldn't have started riding
