• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

In the photo there are mirrors attached to the windshield. A member of our PA Spyder Ryder group saw these and took this photo. He tried waiting for the owner but they did not come out.
We have been searching hi & low for them.
If anyone can help us out it would be greatly appreciated.

I like the idea of the extra mirrors higher up. Have not done anything like that with my RT's, but had an extra round (wide angle) type mirror on both my RS's. They were affixed with sticky back in the upper left quadrant of the left mirrors. I found the extra view to be very helpful.
 
Thank You

PM....Andy Cserny, He has some that look very similar.........And He has PICS of them on His Spyder ........Mike :thumbup:
 
Considering the Amazon one is $24.99 there must be a decimal error or they are not talking dollars.. Maybe Hong Kong dollars..:roflblack::roflblack: $500 bucks a pair...:yikes:
The prices are for both left and right mirror.
 
Great idea. I've been wanting a mirror that is 'normal' so I can tell how close the traffic is behind me.
 
In this video you can somewhat see my solution for a higher mirror. It is a classic old fashioned bicycle mirror. All told I have less than $20 in it. You can't see it very well, if at all, but I mounted the mirror on a piece of pvc pipe to which I fastened a couple of 2" C clamps using steel/epoxy putty. The pipe is clamped to the dash. Look at the last 10 seconds. This is strictly a utilitarian mirror to be able to see over my tent-on-a-trailer so prettiness was not a consideration at all. The trailer blocks the stock mirror image directly behind me. I use the mirror only when pulling the trailer.

I tried a mirror I bought from Cycle Giant that had a plastic stem. The plastic was flexible and the mirror vibrated so much it was almost unusable. That's why the bicycle mirror with a steel stem. It still has some vibration but it's steady enough to see if cars are directly behind me. I thought about trying to mount a mirror on the windshield but couldn't figure out a good way that wouldn't damage the windshield and still be easy to put on and take off. Also, I think vibration could be a significant issue with a windshield mounted mirror. The vibration comes largely from wind blowing past the mirror as much or more than vibration coming from the bike body. In the video the mirror appears to be steady but I don't know if that's because it actually was, which I don't think so, or if it's the result of converting the video for YouTube.

Here's a frame capture from another video that shows it better.

For that kind of money, I'll just keep on doing shoulder checks as part of my normal defensive driving scan. I'm not cheap, but that kind of money needs to go for something like BajaRons sway bar. :thumbup:
