Which mirrors for a Gumby?

Postby King Nicholas » Sat Jun 05, 2010 5:43 pm

I need mirrors for my Gumby and I do not want to buy OEM's but I can not find anything decent.
There seem to be plenty for nakeds and cruisers but not much for sportsbikes and many of the websites do not seem safe enough to give my credit card details to.
I like the Pig Spotters (below) because they are discrete and it is important for me to be able to split.

Does anyone suggest any websites/mirrors that are discrete and will allow me to split easily?
As a guide, $200 would be my upper limit.

Those Arrow Billet Bar-End Mirrors look awesome! I had bar end mirrors for a while and I wouldn't recommend them if you do a lot of lane splitting. It was the reason I replaced mine as I ride home from work through the harbour tunnel every day (Lots of lane splitting).

I am not so concerned with the practicality of the mirrors except for the fact that they can not affect me splitting.
I am going to contact the website above as some of their mirrors look great.
On the lighter side, I am scared about how much they are going to charge and will my bike still be a Kwaka if I put something Italian on it that isn't female?

Have you acually used them?....I would be interested to know.....

I have them on my bike and I can see more with them than the stock mirror's and don't get any vibration :? .....
