I'm told my mirrors look Goofy

How about a pair of bar ends?

Looking at the manual the bike came without mirrors, perhaps that's the way to go?

Cam3512 · « **Reply #1 on:** July 09, 2015, 04:47:17 AM »

Yes. Those work best with police bars, running more parallel to the bars and outward.

Try mounting them low on those civilian bars.

Yes they do. But if you like them and they work for you, then that is what matters.

Don't they vibrate like mad - or is your carb balance perfect - unlike mine

True..........and I was content with them for years, with or without the fairing.
But I was given a really good pair of bar ends, and am pleased with them, although it did mean slicing the end off those expensive grips.

Don't be swayed by the opinions of others. Be happy! Nobody's looking at your mirrors when you're riding (except you).

Yes, to me at least.

I like a double bend mirror. I have mirrors from a Kawasaki H1?

Look more Mickey (Mouse ears) to me. I have bar-ends on both of my roadworthy Loops. Never liked the handlebar clamps on those cheap mirrors. On customer bikes, I've been using Emgo mirror mounts with Bikemaster mirrors. Decent quality, look pretty good and the whole setup is reasonably priced.

I believe mine are backwards, or inside out or something. Maybe swapped left for right.
They stick out too far as designed, hang up on shrubberies.
I can't remember why I replaced the original mirrors, probably broke one.

I think I've been told that the loop frames didn't come with mirrors.

Yes, Roy, they do look a little goofy, but minimal head movement & a clear view behind is priceless. I have a mate who has similarly long stalks on his mirrors, but as he's been riding for more than 50 years (very fast through the corners - you don't want to even try keeping up) , he doesn't really care. Works for him.

right mirrors, wrong bars, had them on my eldo, with the bigger bars, and them a bit lower and wider, looked fine and gave a great view of what was happening behind me

Interesting choice of photo shoot locations, Roy! Is that Fraserview?

My family has been telling me how little rain you have been getting there, but it really hits home looking at your pictures. I'll be there next week, so will be able to see for myself, I suppose.

Oh, nice mirrors!

Cheers,
Shaun

Kiwi_Roy · « **Reply #23 on:** July 13, 2015, 09:50:41 AM »

Yes it's Frazerview, I live just down the street next to the old jail gatehouse

I changed the mirrors for bar ends, the jury is still out.

I know the area!

Maybe show us a picture of the bar ends, too?

Without a rider of windscreen?.. Yup, a bit goofy.

Add curb feelers and Gay Pirate tassels - no one'll notice.

These are the mirrors I had on my old cruiser.

For some reason, I got into a skeleton and skulls kind of motif. Then I found out Batman wasn't hiring and decided to grow up and buy a Norge.
