Does anyone have any decent non-standard mirrors fitted to their Baggy? I hate round mirrors and have never got on with them. I've struggled to find any alternatives that have the same reach as the MZ ones. I ordered some Motrax ones recently but they were so small and of such poor quality I sent them right back. Any piccies would be helpful. Thanks

I hated my mirrors so much I took them off!
I was thinking of trying to get a small mirror of a KTM to go on the the offside bar.

In the end I decided to go for a pair of KTM mirrors like on the Duke and Supermoto. About £40 all in, inlcuding the support posts which are necessary to take the 10mm to 8mm conversion. Look cool and work fine.

I will probably replace the offside mirror - so I can check before overtaking so I don't have to look behind quite so many times.
As for being overtaken by trucks - it's never happened yet, and if it does then I must be going too slow
