Enough is enough! Safety first...

I was really tired and upset of this "sideview" mirrors. I couldn't see anything behind me for crying out loud...

You can say whatever you want but I think this solution works just perfectly :)

Total cost: 8€ (4€ each), they turn 360º, so you can adjust to better suit your needs...

 
Now I can see, now I have rearview mirrors... :)
Safety first!

    So far so good... still happy with the solution :)

    The "motards" on my workplace joke me arround a little because they say that they don't need to see what's on their back...

    I don't care... I'm satisfied now! :)

    Hi there anonymous from Ukraine :)
    Of course the SYM mirrors are adjustable inside the shells.
    But there's no position where ou can have a good view of the rear. For that you need to move your arms and strech your head a little to the side...
    What you can do is sit on a SYM GTS 125 Evo and adjust the mirrors anda try to see what's on your back...
    I failed to do so without moving my body... That's why I bought those handy little round mirrors :)

    I've already spoke about this is a previous post: http://symgts125evo.blogspot.com/2010/03/rear-view-mirror-angle-not-good.html

    I also have the same problem, but moving my arms solves it. Usually i'm not worried by what's behind me.

    Love your blog. Better than the Sym manual :)
    Just hade my first ride.
    Everyting is great, except the limited view on the mirrors.
    Can you tell me where I can find these thingies online ? Do you have to glue them ?

    Thanks TH.
    I've no idea where you can buy them online, sorry.
    Mine came with a little sticker to attach to the glass mirror, but they're sliding down the mirror, must reinforce with some kind of stronger sticker.

    I beat your price. I only paid 2 euros :)
    I only used one on the left mirror, as I don't see added value for putting one on the right mirror.
    Heck that one is folded in most of the times, to pass the traffic james ;)

    For everyone who is interested, I bought it at www.halfords.com

    nice :) good price indeed...
    in Portugal car drivers tend to pass on the right, and since I do some roads with lot of entries and exits it's good to check my right...
    regards
