Smaller Filter friendly mirrors? - Tubz1983 - 13-08-15
The standard mirrors serve their purpose, but I was wondering if anyone has fitted smaller mirrors that are easier to fold in and out during tight filtering that don't interfere with lock to lock steering around traffic (the standard do interfere)
Thanks

Mirrors are your cats whiskers, if they get through a space then so do your elbows.
I would've thought if they were any narrower you'd be looking at yourself.

Just fold them in to go through the tight gaps! Admittedly, I've not quite mastered doing this one handed whilst approaching a tight gap. Now if I had a thumb button to auto fold them in...

Already on your mk 1 boxeye half the view is your elbows anyway so if you go smaller then the whole view will be your elbows

I like my bar end mirrors through traffic.
I also like the whiskers analogy...very apt...
$22 oz bucks on egay for these anyways, they don't vibrate and carry on, i think it was worth it.

Bar end mirrors look like an option, I shall investigate

If you look just to the right of the front brake reservoir, you'll find a 10mm tapped hole (may have a plastic cover) - same the other side. These holes give you the option of something like these below which I've just slapped on my Tiger to improve filtering. Endless choice of styles this way and no wider than your bar ends.
