These are SWEET Sprock ! I'm having trouble making the rubber covers fit on my original miiror stalks. I tried to use a hair dryer to soften them and put in place but it's like they shrunk. Do you know if these fit a 93 1000F Hurricane? To the other questions, mirrors are mandatory on the bike. I can see whats behind me, whats coming up too fast at a light , another bike passing or riding my tail ,and is my 1st point of reference even when I turn to look to the sidelanes.

I use my mirrors all the time, and look behind me. I use my mirrors mainly for seeing who is behind me/where they are behind me. Especially when I am out riding with friends.

I always figured that just like cars, you had to have mirrors on your bike by law. Can I "Legally" ride without mirrors?

Just lowered my price on my extendables, mirror head is same as CBR These things really work! Sorry for the pitch but I really think these are worth a look.
Just type www.slikdesignsusa in the url box I do not always come up on a search.
Please let me know what you think. I want to provide a useful product.
nuff said thanks

I put the small blindspot mirrors on mine. They come in handy for seeing what's behind you without having to turn your head. For me, it's harder to turn my head when the wind is pushing against it and it is good for those quick glances when you are in traffic and need to keep your eyes on what's going on in front of you.

I love mine and couldn't live without them, our police are very strict on speed! So I ALWAYS check my mirrors for police and the road ahead for cars before I give her the guns
