Ok Mr F, we will send loads of pics to remind you what its like.

MIRRORS - a very grey area indeed :yes a fine of £30 can be issued for riding without mirrors however due to there being no requirement to have them fitted to pass an MOT and a very ambiguous regulation 33 it would take a dumb *** plod to issue one.
the easy explanation is that mirrors are not a legal requirement unless the bike is fitted with mounting brackets and if they are fitted they must be free from cracks and ***** :thumbup
hope this clears things up guys :yes

Cheers fir that Mr b, my bike came with the mirrors in a cardboard box, choke cable and the socketed top half of the lever mounts.

So it was never fitted with mirrors but if you wanted you could swap over the top of the lever clamps and fit the mirrors yersel.

Riding aboot on the road waeoot mirrors isn't fir me, I like to know whit's going on behind me but the limited road miles I do on my orange I can live with.

I've seen plenty youtube off road stuff where the riders move their mirrors parallel with and to the centre of the bars,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they've obviously never stopped dead at under 15mph.

Cheers again mucker. :thumbup
 
Looks like it mucker. :thumbup
 
fitted an Ermax screen today :yes heard good reports and can now confirm i am converted :yes wasnt too sure on the looks at first but its growing on me :thumbup


went for a local blast with jnr and had a hoot :thumbup
 
Mr b, them Deely Bobbers fair get aboot mucker. :yes
 
met up with Tezpip and headed out over the very windswept Dales via Waskerly Res with the intention of heading to Hartside untill the rain started at Irishhopeburn :no quick U turn and back to Stanhope and over another wind swept Dales this time on the way to Middleton where we eventually found some sunshine and had lunch :yes headed back home via Barnard and Sedgefield and all in all had a good run out :thumbup

 
Yeah it was a good run out, my neck is starting to ache after fighting with the wind I seriously thought it was going to blow the bike from beneath me lol. Mr B my bike is now spotless :thumbup
 
Sounds like you both had a blast.

Riding in strong winds can be fun, but sometimes can be a bit scary.
 
started my exhaust project and as the weather was nice decided to have a run out around Weardale to try them out :yes

nowt fell off and they sound great so onto the next phase - clean and powdercoating :yes
 
They look good those mr B, what's brought this project on ? Have you run out of things to clean on it :yes

What is the plan with your MIVVS, :dunno
 
Sorry mate, I'm not keen on them at all. The Mivvs look better, just my opinion tho':dunno
