I just dropped my bike again yesterday and broke another left mirror. My left pant leg got caught on something so when I went to put my foot down at a stop it didn't happen. My pant leg ripped about a foot before the stator cover hit so I got my foot out and managed to gently lay the bike down for the most part. I was extremely pissed but it still runs so I'll still ride. I may try that idea with the new mirrors I bought though haha.

 

Damn Right a few broken bones aint gonna stop no one

 

I heard that by flipping your mirrors AND your exhaust, the effect actually cancels out and all you hear is a strange rattle around 4-6k RPMs.

 

Flipped mirrors= 5hp!!! lol My bike has either fallen or I've fallen on it at least 4 times, broken mirror every time. My trick looks better: new mirror for $15.

 

Good tip, but i'd still rather get some good aftermarkets. Suggestions?

 

I've had mine switched since I bought mine. No one can really tell a difference. I like it better at stop lights.

 

Im gonna go switch my mirrors asap after seeing those pics!




I've dropped my bike 4 times since i've owned it while stopped. (gravel, caught pants, slid on grass, being stupid) Never broke a mirror. Just scuffs. I owe it to the frame sliders.

I just swapped the stock ones back on from the cheapass hong kong integrated mirrors that literally fell apart after 2 weeks. Waste of time and money.

 

or you can just rock an enduro mirror. I flipped my bike and it landed on the mirror and clip on. It jacked it up a bit, but I'm still technically legal.

Here you can see the mirror:


And here you can see the damage:



Keeps you legal, but it is relatively useless.

 

FYI... photoshop twist effect... Is untwistable pretty easily.

 

Nice tip!
