Fosil fuel in the rear view mirror

[Low]

Hi guys, any one recomend a good quality rear view mirror, im a bit struck as my new bike has a twist throttle so dont think i can hack into the end of my handle bar to fit it....

Really a bit stumped, short of having it on the left side which seems a bit blind stopilisious.. This right sided twist throttle is just one piece of moulded plastic.. Not for cutting me thinks

I guess an ugly vespa style mirror with a long stem is my only option?

Pics might help others, to help you.

Maybe one on a rubber band might do?



Or, on your wrist. I quite like this option.



Or your helmet.



Maybe a bit further down the handlebars, past your twist grip.

I'm fairly sure that an end-mount mirror would be compatible with a full-twist throttle. After all, there's still a bar end underneath the throttle - you'd just have to cut a hole in the end of the throttle to reach it.

Maybe wait for someone else to confirm before making a decision though...

The throttle has nothing at the bar end, so just cut the end off with a hacksaw or drill it out to the size of the bars' inside diameter, then you can fit a Zefal Cyclops, which is the best bang-for-buck mirror. They're really great with the double fold. so that you can hide it behind the bar when you park up or squeeze your bike through the back door.

Personally, I wouldn't buy from anyone that discriminates against anything.

I like smoking and pets more than most people

At times, I really laff at some of your randomness.

 

[soundwave]

you can always ride of road there is no speed limit on the pavement

I think that they could be on to you.

Drawing attention to the power of these things just leads to plod awareness.

Guys braver than me

 

[soundwave]

i gave up trying tbh, there just not interested and will not chase me

 

[Low]

Lol.. Good luck to anyone trying to chase you!

 

[soundwave]

On my way to the park yesterday, I saw someone that could catch Soundwave. I doubt that the old Bill would catch him though.

 

[soundwave]

i can keep up with them for a short time like 2 mins as i can do bursts of over 30mph but its fkn hard work and need corners as well there small wheels dont help there.

also if the police see 1 of them round here will get seized as they make a bloody row that ppl kick off sat in there huts watching some crap on the tv.

sat in their huts.... GET OUT MORE LOSERS
