I can see clearly now
 
Now we all know how great the mirrors are:lol: so I made a simple addition and .... I can see clearly now:)



Takes a bit of getting used to, ut at least you have a fair indication of what youve just passed, or how quick you are escaping:roll:

Available from your friendly Hellfords
Works for me.

yep, its essential to know whats on the roof of every property you pass, or maybe you clear gutters for a living and you'll be able to see the ones full of leaves ????

:frog:

Might have to give it a go. How do you feel about the looks though ? I know its hardly much of a change but it does seem to upset the great looks slightly.

Have you not tried the looking under the arm method rather than trying to move your arms out of view.

I fancy having a bash at fitting a little screen and a mini camera on the back. A little bit OTT but I like gadgets. Dont know if you have ever seen the marine turbine bike but that has one fitted.

So this is a blind spot addition, right?

Does it get round the fact that if you are wearing quite chunky waterproof clothes you have to lift your left arm up to see what is in your left wing mirror.

Winter riding is an art form in itself, IMHO :o

I do enjoy the odd moment when cars move out of your way when you are mistaken for a member of the constabulary when wairing the hi-vis yellow jacket in winter.

Its like a hot knife through butter sometimes. Moses of the traffic

tricky.
:eureka:

As I was posting, I knew there would be one smart a$$:roll: Hey there's a crisp £10 note if you care to come round and clear my gutters:sing:

Dont think they effect the looks too much and they just give a bt of comfort in knowing what's behind without dooing the funky chicken;) Worth a try to see if you get on with them, they just stick on. Had them on the benelli ( if you can believe it the Tornado mirrors are even more useless)
