mirrors

[AZST1300A]

I've seem small mirrors mounted to the windshield of some ST's. Flexible blindspot mirrors. I've searched this board for quite a few hours looking for information on them. I've seem plenty on replacement of the stock mirrors, but not blindspot type. My '03 ST is going through a 50K overhaul, and would like to install them.

Thanks, just what I was looking for...

I've watched this site for a while and hope to contribute in the future. Right now the bike is getting set to become AUDI TT Papaya Orange with a Cobin Smuggler trunk and other mods. I hope to send up pictures in early May. :rolleyes:

Yeah you have to post pictures. My first BMW was a strange orange color, :confused: kinda grew on me though. Sounds really cool.

Intended for survival in the Phoenix traffic. Silver tends to blend in during dawn and dusk. :biker:

I got a set of Multivex mirrors and they're just great. They give a normal view on the inside, but toward the outside edge they are slightly convex which expands your viewing area. The weirdest thing is when you can see the front of a vehicle to your left or right and still see the rear of it in your mirror! :eek: A set of the Multivex mirrors is $60.00 from Multivex. www.multivex.com (I think) They stick on with double sided tape, right to your stock mirrors, so installation is a snap. much better than the tiny little round things that show an image too small to be of much use.

I may get both based on the positive comments of the Multivex Mirrors. Thanks for the feedback.

The purchase of the Multivex mirrors for my ST13 has been one of the best additions to my bike.!!

Using Multivex Mirrors here, happy so far, and they do me the great favor of not having to twist my arthritic neck around so far to see what kind of 4-wheeled Behemoth is trying to do me in :D


...One note to add about ordering, is that my initial order was with Electrical Connection for them, and they never were able to ship. Cancelled that order and ordered direct from Multivex, and where here in less than a week :)

Electrical connection for a mirror face? Is there more to it than just a lense with adhesive tape?

Couldn't agree more with the recommendation on Multivex mirrors. They've been one off my sleeper farkles - much higher bang for the buck ratio than initially expected. Here's a pix of one of them along with a couple of other additions (McCruise, new grips, heat troller).

Been using the Saeng mirrors on my windshield for years now. I happen to think they're the best but then I would think that. Be that as it may, I deeply believe that some kind of blind spot mirrors are essential. Look over one's shoulder to see what's there? That's not, imo, a plan.

Yeah, no kidding. I can just manage the menu at the Mexican restaurant! :)

This may help...I kinda "maxed" my farkle "account" right now with the smuggler box, corbin seat, firestick NGP antenna, highway bars and heli risers.....I went to the local auto parts store and bought of the small (2") round mirrors that have adhesive pads on the back that are usually used on cars/trucks for blindspots or trailering.....cost about 2 bucks each....stuck them on the lower inside corner of the factory mirrors...they work surprisignly well at clearing up the blindspot on the bike....

One thing about Multivex is their outstanding customer service. They sent me additional adhesive tape free and they were patient w/ me understanding the physics of the mirrors and how to use them. I strongly recommend this product. At first it feels kinda weird, but one gets adjusted and you appreciate how well they work. Just my opinion friends :03biker: :razz: :smile:

[AZST1300A]

Thanks for all the good information. It will be my next mod after the paint job starting Apr 25. I need to get the big ($) farkle done first, $2200 custom paint...

Are you going to paint it like the aircraft?? Is that a Continental 737? Do you get to fly it? :-P :mrgreen: :drive1: :attentio:

Did I read on another thread somewhere that you were goin with the papaya orange???
That should be sweet!!!

[AZST1300A]

Yep...Bike went into shop Saturday for teardown. Bought the paint Friday. I've got one of Phoenix's best custom painters taking two weeks to rub all the panels down and layer up the paint and clearcoat. The corbin smuggler box will be painted to match as well as my new helmet. The wheels will be powdercoated gloss black and then rimmed on the outside with the orange color. (Spendy Farkle...)
