Nice things about bicycle mirrors is they are cheep (most of 'em) to try out, and there's got to be at least a dozen different designs to play with that will suit your needs. I've tried "Third Eye" and those work in some applications... I've looked at the " ToPeak" mirrors, but with an aluminum body, they are so damned expensive that I've taken a pass. The Zefal "Dooback", "Cyclops" and "Spy" mirrors are interesting... I'll have to see them in person. Cateye makes a few possible designs as well. C
Well I have the CRG's on now mounted inboard on my SM and you can see but to be honest the best mirrors I was running on my 610 were the Aprilia mirrors that come on a bunch of their bikes. Great optics , actually amazing compared to the stockers and they are a lot more sleek looking and I think it was $60 can for the set. If you can't find any pics of them (or if you are still even looking ) I'll post a pic of them on the bike?
Please post away. I have a set of imitation CRG's and you can see but they are just as worthless. I am going back to stock for now, the streets are just a place you need to see all around you.
Here's a few Ignore the contraption on the left mirror base it's failed camera mount Just ask for a set of Aprilia Tuono mirrors but I know they are the same as on many of their bikes including their own Supermotos.
You are 100% correct! I got down the hill this morning and realized I didn't have a mirror on my 610 I turned around and headed back up the hill and grabbed the one off my KTM. I don't like riding with only 1 mirror; it's no better than 2 funky mirrors that don't work. Lurkerlou, I'm digging those Aprilia mirrors And your bike is a very sexy piece of machinery WoodsChick
Thanks for the compliment WoodsChick. I'm not going to lie mine really isn't always that clean ....as a matter of fact I take even more pride in getting it filthy. I have admired a great many of the pictures and places you have had your 610 so two thumbs go up to you WoodsChick on your adventures and even more for taking pictures along the way. I guess I owe you a real Gong Show mud picture of mine. Let me know if you have trouble finding a set of the Tuono mirrors ? As far as the actual CRG mirrors if you take the time to mount them in the right place they really are a great mirror but it may be more that the knock off's aren't as optically correct or convex. I would throw my Aprilia mirrors back on in a second if I really couldn't see behind me with the CRG's , as there are just as many things coming from behind trying to kill you as in front.
Stock te630 mirror receptacle size. anyone know if the stock 630 mirror receptacles are 10mm? or if not what size it is? I want to get some smaller mirrors that will fold out of the way when not used and would like to use the stock receptacle to screw them in. looking at getting these: https://www.bajadesigns.com/NET/P-180090/Mirror, Baja Designs Folding Dual Sport thnx!
Motosportz got them and a whole lot more Here you go; http://www.motosportz.com/HVA-SS/HVA-SS-Trailtech.htm
Thanks for the links. I just ordered a set of the round 280mm KTM mirrors with mounts. USD91=AUD95 (!) to my door. Now's a good time for us foreigners to buy because the USD isn't worth squat... or is it just the AUD that is worth something. One of my stock mirrors is on its way back to the dealer. Half baked threads so nothing for the lock nut to grab. Shoddy workmanship. I'm going for the seperate mounts because with my luck I'll bust one of the (expensive) perches if I use them.

Mirrors I use these! http://www.touratech.com/shops/008/...=9474&osCsid=6c08cf26353b63c96614aaa467a575a0 Folding mirrors are idea when going from tarmac to trail and back again, but also useful when loading multiple bikes in the back of the van. Regards Dazlove
I put on a set of KTM Super Duke 2 mirrors and they are so far out to the sides that you can see everything behind you.
Just installed the Aprilia Tuono's today. Sleek and work better than the oem mirrors, which I'd still be using 'cept the bike was idling in the garage as I got suited up to go to work and the bike was vibrating the cardboard underneath it and made it inch backwards to the sloped driveway which I did not notice and it dropped on it's right side snapping the mirror off at the base doh!
