Looking back - the mirror saga

<< < (2/3) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Aside from the added width of bar end mirrors I am a fan.
I have just one on my 400 ATM on the offside it's fitted as a blind spot aid. Mine were inexpensive less than £15 for a pair.

Bryanj:
Now now, at least you can see your elbows, remember the mirrors on Triumphs and Nortons, of course not they fell off every mile and whilst on there showed nothing of visible interest

Orcade-Ian:
You're right Bryan,
When I had Triumphs and Nortons (still have a Model 50 Featherbed) there didn't seem to be as many folk out to kill you by steaming past where there is little or no room.  The big surprise was that the Con and Use regs were produced in 1986.

Bryanj:
Nah, thats just the update quoted, and if you try reading c&u regs you go dolally as it contradicts itself regularly and gives exemptions like series 1 landrovers would be illegal as headlamps too far from edge and too close together but because mod wanted them they are exempt that reg

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):

I still have the standard type mirrors in place - they do not match as the left one has a longer arm - I could not find a right hand long arm version so fitted a new DS aftermarket part. The end of the right hand throttle grip was already cut out so fitted one of the bar end mirrors to block up the hole - it's a bonus as it definitely helps my view - I no longer need to turn my elbows in all the time!

Oh and I liked the gold coloured bits.
