Just go to the mirrors section Spiegel

Its the black slim line ones marked 100% illegal!

i dont really see any need to mount the mirror under the bars.......... they are there to save your life or your license!! the bigger the better (well maybe not) but keep them a normalish size the police might not feel the same way about your mirrors

Not really a drama, ive gone for over 12 months without mirrors, and as long as you use life savers you should be fine, as for cops, if they are behind you its too late. (Well it is the way i ride!) I always slow down on motorways at junctions and look over my shoulder just to check for the sneaky buggers.

As for seeing behind at least my shoulders wont be in the mirrors if they are mounted underneath!

The mirrors are purely decoration!

You're going to mount one under the right hand bar - interesting?

Can't see that it'd be much use at all and as it's slimline is it really going to be noticeable enough to be cosmetic?

Sounds mad enough to be a good plan - love to see the photos once it's in place.

Nice. I just use a bar end on the right, shouldn't just rely on mirrors.

I swapped my original ones for some teeny tiny oberon bar end ones, and I can see more in them than just my elbows
