Default mirror block offs

i finally got around to putting them on, looks 10x's better. i live in cali so a lot of lane spliting is done by me and my buddies, i got soo tired of dodging cars mirrors and diping the bike underneath theirs so it doesnt hit my own. id show yall a picture but i dont take enough pictures of things to warrent buying a camera.

anyone else have mirroir block offs?

I use them, for the track. I dont think i could ride without mirrors, even at the track i tend to want to look.

I split lanes every time out and don't seem to have that problem.

to much time looking back when ya wanna change lanes without mirrors. Don't fully depend on em but they do come in handy.

I couldnt ride without my mirrors. And I split when Im on my cruiser with no problems on the 60 east. There is no need for block offs on my sportbike. Maybe for looks only...

my dad is moving to SD he grew up there... his move out date is march 12th.


anyway i bought one of these bad boys to make it legal.... http://www.constructorsrg.com/mirrors/index.html


well lane spliting threw stoped traffic coming up to a stop light is a lil tuff around here somtimes. just the other day i was avoiding hitting a cars mirror with mine and ended up hiting another with my shoulder...so that was the last straw.

as for using the mirrors, i stoped using them about a month ago and got in the habit of just putin the ole head on a swivel.

Yeah I like I mirror's I agree the bikes look better without them,but it's just a good idea to have them on the street.

So you took the mirrors off to better split lanes, then added 3+ inches to the end ofthe bar? Am I the only one that kinda feels that defeats the purpose? Honda should have made it so our mirrors fold in. That way we could tuck them out of the way when we aren't using them, but still have them when we want them. Oh, look at that, they did.
