Mirrors options
Discussion
Can anyone recommend mirrors that i can attach to my bike, SV1000 naked, which will help reduce the width of the bike?
At the moment, i have the standard antenna style mirrors, which don't normally cause an issue, give great rear viability when i'm on the move, but causes issues when filtering. To the point that i know the bike will fit through a gap, but i can't go through because of the mirrors.
Their height and how they extended beyond the width of the handle bars, means that filtering (especially past transit vans), i need to be careful not to knock mirrors, and this slows me down.
I've come from riding on a sports bike, which had mirrors that could flip up in one easy move. So that they go from the normal position, to what look like upright bunny ears.
The current mirrors arms on the bike are fixed, bolted in place, and only the mirror pivots around. If i were to loosen the nut, it would mean the mirror arms fold towards me, and so i can't see behind me.
If there are arms that could be easily moved, then i would be happy to take a look, but right now it's a pain to filter, because of these mirrors.
mod - please could you update the title to: Mirror options
