Hi all, I have a question regarding replacement mirrors for a Suzuki Bandit 600.

When filtering I am concerned about clipping wing mirrors with my mirrors.

Does anyone have any suggestions for replacement mirrors, i.e. ones which are lower than standard.

Cheers

Surely your bike mirrors should be higher than those on cars?

Mine are higher and usually its my handlebars that clip wing mirrors if I am not filtering carefully enough.

Also if you find your regularly clipping peoples mirrors I suggest you learn how to judge gaps and filter properly. If theres not enough space for your bike, its not safe for you to filter safely is my philosophy.

I was thinking more about vans. On the A2 there is a stretch where the traffic comes to a stand still, but due to the width of the road it gets harder to filter.

So far I've never clipped mirrors. I've just got my new bike and wanted advise, so that I wouldn't do so in the future.
