Changing to Doubletake mirrors...quick question

Danimal · 10-23-2015, 10:00 AM

My mirrors seem loose and need adjustment too often.

I know you can remove the glass and tighten, but I've decided to just go to Double Takes and eliminate the problem.

So...are the left and right mirrors on the RX3 both right hand threaded?

Here is what I am getting (the Adventure shape glass)

Yes, both mirrors have a standard, right hand thread.

That looks like a good shape. Please let us know how the installation and subsequent testing goes.

Thanks Spud

Doubletake mirrors are bulletproof. They stay put and are easily folded inwards when in wooded areas.

That's why I love this site and thanks for the link Danimal. Those are hands down the best implemented aftermarket mirrors I have ever seen!

DoubleTake just added the 'coffin' mirrors a few weeks ago.

The Ken Sean/Bikemaster mirrors are also an excellent choice for folding mirrors. I have these mirrors installed on all my bikes, except the RX3.

I bought Ken Sean mirrors on Spud's recommendation. They're well-designed.
