Would like some opinions on pig spotters - Rosebusa - 02-01-2011
Hi All,

Thanks Kylie

I've had themm for years. They are fine once you get used to them, but you'll need years of practice - I've only bee happy with trusting what I see in the last 8 months or so.
That said, I now wear a Reevu half the time which makes all mirrors practically redundant when you learn how use that.

Cant see much out of them, I don't ride with other people around me with them on
At night you can see head lights coming up on you
all you can really see is whats real close & beside you

I have a set and they look great...but I've taken them off until I can get a Reevu.

I did consider them myself but after a hell of a lot reading about them I found for every 1 person that said they were okay,
10 more said they were useless, dangerous and should not be considered legal for road use.

Hi Troppo,
They are smaller mirrors that attach to the bike without a base if you have a look at this website it will show you some pictures.

I was originally looking at them to slim line the bike but I am more concerned with safety so I have decided now to look at alternatives. Thanks again for your response :)

Hi Guys,
We have been approached to distribute and have been thinking about them as we get a reasonable number of enquiries. We can even get them custom painted.
We are definitely going to have bar end mirrors shortly of our own design and manufacture
Other items comming shortly.
RE: Would like some opinions on pig spotters - Troppo - 09-01-2011
Ahhh, thanks.
I can't understand why you would want to put smaller mirrors on the Busa....
But then, I'm a function over form kind of bloke.
Although, I have seen yanks with no mirrors....
(shakes head, slowly...)
I had bar end mirrors on my B-King.
Rizoma ones...beautiful.
Looked great, but functionally next to useless..

Other items comming shortly.
All I can see is my arms with the stock one's
RE: Would like some opinions on pig spotters - big kev - 09-01-2011
bar ends are awesome same here dave had them on both my katanas 1100 750 pop up .
make sure you get a decent size mirrir with the bar ends mate as most are to small in diameter and there usless ,
other idea i had was getting a set of 1" mirror extenders for the busa as well i know a few guys that have them
