Dualsport Mirrors?

Post by Bucho »

I have decided I dont like the mirrors on my WR250R. (I think maybe they are stock?)

I would kinda like mirrors or at least one mirror for street/easy dirtroad riding.

Any suggestions for a mirror that is actually useful when needed. But can be easily folded out of the way when offroad?

I was looking at the ones with the ball/RAM mounts.

We all have the Double Takes. No complaints other than they are a little pricey for what they are. Have the round ones on the dirtbikes and got the slightly larger adv ones on the 701.

My last dirt bike, the one I currently have, and even my 1090 Adventure R have the Highway Dirtbikes hand guards with integrated mirrors. They are little circles that flip out from the protection of the hand guard and offer a great view behind you. You can't buy the mirrors separate of the hand guards. If you break one, they'll replace it. If you break the glass in one (I've done it 3x now), they'll send you two glasses for the cost of shipping. They're pricey all in for the guards and mirrors, but they're high quality US made products that they support 100%.

I had double take mirrors in the past. They were OK for the price. Not cheap to buy and not a cheap product, either. I simply preferred the HDB stuff.

Phil, Don't buy any. I have two, that are DS mirrors. One you can try out with the ball mount-if they work for you, you can have them.

The ones Jed is talking about are Highway dirtbike guards. I have them on the T7 but with a better mirror set up. I used the Rottweiller mirror mounts which are way better for real road use at higher speeds.

this is the Highway Handguards that have the spots for integrated mirrors.
