Mirrors that work???

[spacemonkey]

So I'm sick of the sight of my elbows, so any suggestions? I like the look of the DP teardrops, or similar, but does anyone know of any that actually work? Not fussed on bar end ones before you start...

[Albie]

Ive been told they are worse than standard but they look the doodahs. I want some but at £60 for elbow view hmmmm

The DPM billet ones I have are a bit diddy, and don't show a lot of what's going on at the rear - especially nearside, but they still show a lot less elbow if correctly adjusted than the O.E. mirrors. Maybe the clip-ons help too, as they tend to tuck my elbows in more, and as Albie said they look 100% neater than a set of micky mouse ears IMO :cool:

i can live with the 'mickey mouse' rear view...but after seeing Rob and AK's mirrors.. they work and look good ;)

You may not like them Spacemonkey, me ol' china, but the Bar End ones work very well.

If you wanna try them, I should be at Box Hill on Sunday the 27th.

I have the DP teardrop. They work just fine for me and look great.

I took mine off. I never used them because of the elbow view so I just put them in a cupboard. The bike looks so much better without them :D

I've got two sets of DP teardrops, I find them crap. But then I'm pretty tall so maybe it's me wots the problem. They look good though.

I had the DP teardrops, found them crap, then fell off and broke one of them so had to go back to standards.

They may look stupid, but at least I can see what going on behind me. Mirrors are a safety feature, and I don't think you should compromise on safety...

Thanks for the quicko reply. I have to commute many miles through the cut and thrust of Londinium, and find mirrors essential, escpecially for spotting a fast approaching plod...

Pedro, you may be at Boxhill on the 27th, but I'll be under a bush on Dartmoor demonstrating How Not To Be Seen....
