 Posted: 10:03 - 27 Aug 2015 Post subject: Spring loaded mirrors? (Bolt-on type) |
 |
|
For the type of bolt-on mirror pictured below - does anyone know of a spring loaded mirror (or spring loaded mirror mount) that can bolt in? (i.e. bolt it in, and then it'd have 90-degree spring loaded motion, so it can fold in and then snap out into the same position again) Some tight filtering moments mean I have to fold them in, but I always end up with a floppy mirror (not a euphemism) and have to mess around with a spanner to get it tight again.
Is this an unattainable dream...?
PS - I know bar-ends are an option, but it's the above I'm interested in...

Found these:
www.doubletakemirror.com
It uses RAM mounts for the mirrors - quite a nice idea but really expensive and highly nickable (you can get RAM mount locks, but they're another £25 each)

So what you are saying is you are wanting to be able to just plow your mirrors into other peoples vehicles and for the mirrors to spring back out again?  ____________________

My bin already contains this one - it was shockingly bad. ____________________ '12 NC700S & '12 CB600F Hornet [Stolen by some dickless twat] Suzuki GT500 shed |

I'm having this exact problem too, but with a faired bike.
Had a fazer, that had spring loaded mirrors, was brilliant for tight filtering up to the lights. Once folded, a little push and they'd spring back into their original position.
Now got a cbf, and the mirrors are fixed, and fazer mirrors have a different mounting system and don't fit  |
