By the time you see a cop in your mirror you're ruined. Look AHEAD.

since those don't look like the bike actually has mirrors on it until you get stopped, i'd say you would be opening yourself up for a routine traffic stop every couple days depending on the police and laws in your area...but hey, you're a friendly guy V, they might just stop you for a chat anyway ;)

Here's a crazy idea.. save the money you want to spend on all this crap and go to a track day already.

yeah, i already mentioned that.

i said, i can spend money on other things for my bike. if it was only $50, i'd get one but $100 is too much for what i need it.

anyway... i really wanna get race bodywork for the tracks but i need to get a slip on at least since the race bodywork doesn't work w/ the stock pipe bec of the catalytic converter.

Save your money for when they come out with a reasonable price for the helmet with the built-in rearview mirror.

but the rearview helmet doesn't make his bike look any cooler, so there's no point in that helmet :wink:

It's a bad name for the product.

If you are going to name a rear-view "pigspotter" it should be made from a pig's ear... which now that I think about it would be a really cool product perfect for the Harley set. Rear views that, instead of being all dolled up in chrome, are mirrors mounted to the back of a dried pig ear... maybe with carbon fiber stalks.

LOL dieziege...though it'll probably get some "ew, gross" remarks, there's actually a dish I make with those. Why waste it on a Harley? =P
