Pig Spotter!!! Are they Road Legal?

[Hidalgo]

The right side mirror for my K7 gixxer vibrates alot when speedometer is in 3 digits (I have tighten all nut and bolts, but still). so i am planning to get one of these, but not sure will be able to get my WOF with that?
PS- it will also be an advantage while commuting in peak hours. on other hand they do reduce view to 75% of stock mirror.
So lemme know what ya all think? :rolleyes:

herez some pics

TBH, I think they look a bit naff.

yeah i do agree to certain extent, but that irritating vibration is also a pain. It reduces my concentration.

Don't like em in photos, but would like to see some in real life... every now and then I see a photo of them on a bike (like the black one you've posted) where they look alright.

What about a barend mirror? Looks better and they're functional.

yeah but thats only demerits (speeding etc)..... I don't think you get demerits for non compliance with WOF std issues... but hey maybe the laws have changed.

Change the mirrors if thats what you want mate. I would (did).

Agreed. Is there another option or style?

filter mirrors!
i hear the pig spotters are useless.

[Gremlin]

guess it depends if you want to actually be able to see out of them. They are useless for that.

Legal, probably, the requirement is one rearward facing mirror... afaik, thats the rules.

If you think your mirrors make it wide to split on a sportsbike... try a cb900 with motocross bars... <_<

Baaa ha ha, nice one guvna :laugh: :niceone:

Throw yourself at the mercy of the WOF tester for the mirrors. Don't think the mirrors will give you supernatural cop spotting powers though.

Since your licence is almost full maybe you should be running a radar detector 24/7? If you ride way above the limit and get pinged the RD gives you that few seconds to decide go or no go. Then if you decide to go, mirrors will be the last thing on your mind.
