that should make my lane splitting even easier.

seriously though, would you ever consider getting one for your sportbike?

they are ugly. I would never put those on my bike.

My mirrors dont stick out past the ends of my bars anyway (the upside to owning a standard). Not that it matters here anyway, cant split here.

my mirrors do stick out farther than the bars.

anyway... im just wondering what people think.

it'll have its purpose for me and i kinda dig that it looks like horns. it's pricey though and it's not gonna help me that much compared to other stuff that i wanna do for my bike.

Fugly. If they were of color as the bike, it wouldn't look as bad.

I'm sure you would have a lovely view of your shoulders with those.

Also, given the size of those mirrors, convex or not, they would have a very limited viewing angle, which might actually reduce your ability to see traffic coming behind you.

+1

Convex lens? That may be good for seeing things up close to you, but its worthless for seeing anything more than 1/2 a block back.
