    Sucky Hyosung mirrors

    Hey all, Hyosung GT250R is an awesome bike, but I've never been impressed with the mirrors on it - I could mostly see my arms and a tiny bit of what's behind.

    I've just replaced the stock mirrors with the aftermarket ones from Cycletreads and now the field of vision is waaaay better : The mirrors were apparently for CBR 600/1100 according to the label, and I scored them both for less than the price of one stock one. The only problem is they distort a fair bit more than I'm used to.

    Just thought I'd throw it out there

    The FXR ones are great. You can tell when an FXR rider is looking in their mirrors cos they lift their elbow up.

    As the Itie said, " wadda isa behinda me isa no concern". There are few bikes out there that do have decent mirrors.

    I'm thinking of fitting bar end mirrors. Trouble is, I have a bad habit of wizzing between the house and the car with not much space.

    Yeah, you gotta be careful with that - could end up with wet shoes or trousers from the backsplash.
    I'd suggest you wizz inside in the toilet.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Yep they are the way to go. They were on my bike when I bought it but I took a Hyo with the stock ones for a test drive and there is a massive difference.
