Well not really. Thinking about some bar end mirrors. Anybody got some to go or can you offer recomendations if not.

Cheers 🥳

I have Oxford ones and they are pretty good, but make it much wider. Image

Width shouldn't be an issue. Don't filter alot and don't use it to commute, well not yet anyway, and not really living in a very built up area.

They are pretty good for a small mirrors and don’t blur through vibrations.

Slow down or tighten them up & use locktite on the bolts.

Well I must be very limp wristed as I can't see to tighten the buggers up enough.
Had a little play and will test out tomorrow, weather dependent

Splashes of excess beard oil can leave them floppy and liable to slip out when vibrated.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Funny you should say that but since my Corona shadow has turned in to a wee wispy goatie I was wondering if it would adversely effect, tunning, handling or sex appeal. However as I have never experienced any of those I shall never know 😂😂😂
