You soon got used to using it though by a quick small turn of your shoulder and it gave a good view of where you wanted, I had mine set so most of it showed the lane next to me with the nearest third of the mirror seeing behind me. Always always used my lifesavers though on overtakes.

Plenty of discussion already on mirror options here.

You can't see much but enough to see if there is anything behind you itching to overtake you.

I use a full face helmet (I value my chin)
and a circular leg shield mirror on the offside.
Whilst not brilliant it does give me a clue as to what may be lurking behind

I wasn't asking for recommendations on a helmet Andie. Thats entirely a personal choice thing and I do wish peeps would keep their helmet advice to themselves when not asked for.grrrr :lol:


All apologies! yes it's a personal choice and, yes, not what you were asking... ;)

hey no worries Andie.

I wasn't really miffed.
Its suprising how strong peoples convictions are about helmets.

Same here, flies in the face and bloody noisey :(

I was wondering about that and also, no anti-mist pinlock system or internal sun visor.
