RX 3 lost mirror reflector
1 Attachment(s)
I have been looking for a good reason to buy a set of the Doubletake Mirrors for my RX3 and have just found the greatest reason of all. I lost the reflector on the freeway a few days ago and it was run over by 50 cars before I could loop back around to try and save it. My wife and I have both had problems with the backing on the reflectors getting loose and the reflectors hanging out by a small piece of the foam sticky tape but have never lost one completely. I ordered two sets of the Doubletakes and they should arrive today from here.
http://www.advdesigns.com/doenadmimain.html Warranty statement on the Doubletake Mirrors: it is made right here in Colorado Springs from a super tough nylon that we are so certain will survive we offer a lifetime warranty (on the housing, not the glass, but you can buy the glass seperately), and sure enough, it folds right down when you want it gone. Here is the picture of the missing reflector on my right mirror. Sorry for the fingerprints I just ate fried chicken. |
The Doubletake mirrors are great. :tup:
P.S. I love fried chicken. :) |

Here are pics of the Doubletakes installed. I was short two mirror and looked at the packing list to see what was going on and they are shipping them later. As soon as I finished installing them on my RX3 I got notification that the second mirrors shipped. I had all the parts in the first shipment but the second set of reflectors for my wife's RX3. She has loose reflectors but they are still somewhat attached. I am very happy with the low vibration of these mirrors, my right mirror is the one that broke and it was always blurry over 7000rpm. the Doubletakes seem to absorb some of that vibration pretty well.

Two comments:
The right stock mirror does vibrate more because the weight of the brake master cylinder creates an oscillation. And my Doubletakes also nearly eliminated it as well. Second, try lowering them more and tilting downwards. You will get a better view and can actually use the mirrors to reduce wind and cold on the hands.

I just noticed your GPS Dan. How did you mount it? looks similar to the way I mounted my Zumo. Or is it suction cup to the windscreen?

I'm liking those mirrors ... very tempting!

Did you ream the holes in the handlebar ends to accept the D-Flex handguards? |
