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!

Hello!! I'm from Spain and this week i buyed a Sym GTS 125 Evo. I have the same problem with the mirrors position, i'll try your solution, looks very usefull.
ReplyDeleteThx!!
So far so good... still happy with the solution :)
ReplyDeleteThe "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! I,m from Ukraine and goin` to bye the same scoot. Those mirrors has to be adjustable. Are they rotate inside their shells?
ReplyDeleteHi there anonymous from Ukraine :)
ReplyDeleteOf 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

Aqui em Portugal ainda não consegui encontrar espelhos esféricos de dimensões aceitaveiS para os colar nos retrovisores.
ReplyDeleteAlguma sugestão?
Desde já obrigado
HELLO,
ReplyDeleteToday I try the same solution in my "Symone" and it has a good result.
Thanks for the idea!!
Regards
I also have the same problem, but moving my arms solves it. Usually i'm not worried by what's behind me.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late response... I've been kind a busy... I bought my mirrors in Norauto. One of then fall out thou, so be sure to stick it well...
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Better than the Sym manual :)
ReplyDeleteJust 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.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
Regards
I beat your price. I only paid 2 euros :)
ReplyDeleteI 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...
ReplyDeletein 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...
