Good idea using the Arm as a lever, just installed today on Drz400, such a sweet mirror.
Yeah, it totally works. I had a 2002 DRZ I rode for 10 years putting nearly 90k miles on before selling it for more than I paid for it. GREAT bike! Thanks for watching. -- Kyle
Does it matter which way you mount the end that has the spring in it? Mirror end or ball mount end?
David Tompkins no, it doesn’t matter. I often times find I’ve got one a certain way and the other the opposite. Once the balls make contact with the mount, the spring has no functionality. That being said I usually mount the “closed end to the handlebar” and the open ended towards the mirror.
Bought my used KLR that didn’t have mirrors, picked these up. Then I had my GSA fall and break a mirror and bought another set for, that bike.
Yes! They work so well! I move 2 sets of DoubleTake mirrors between 4 bikes.
Must be difficult to see out of those mirrors with the glass facing forward... 😂
Ha! Ha! The reflections from the garage lights were horrible! It does look silly doesn’t it? Thanks for watching! - Kyle
My OEM mirrors, because of my shoulder width, show me half of my shoulder and half of what is behind me. These look like I could adjust for a wider stance and have a better view. Is there anything that you see that would hamper their operation if installed the main post lower to each side to get a better view?
Totally adjustable and... you can even move them wider with an extension. They will work great for your wide shoulders. Thanks for watching! - Kyle
Kyle Bradshaw 👍👍🇨🇦
The spring in the arm goes at the top one is guessing
It works either way.
This is the answer I was looking for, & expecting.
I went to the Doubletake website and, frankly, I find it confusing. They list "components" and then "extras". As you installed your mirrors in the video, did you require any of the "extras". Thanks.
I installed them as the "set they came with. two mirrors, two arms and two balls. What bike are you trying to order for? Maybe I can help.
@@manybikes Looking closer at their website, I don't see any real need for their "extras". The bike is a 2021 CB500X. Thanks.
@@user-zo6xg8bx4l Yes, just the basics should do it! Just shopped for your bike and you need none of the extras.
That’s a slick setup. Do they sell singles? That would be a nice dual sport/sumo setup that you could tuck away when off-road.
Yes, they do sell singles. For your KTM, you will need these components: Enduro Mirror $25.00 + RAM Arm 3in/76mm $13.00 Ball Stud Base $10.00 : One Side All In for $48. Check them out here: www.doubletakemirror.com/build?bike=43 or at Chap: www.chapmoto.com/sicass-racing-double-take-mirror-sar-dt-m01 and www.chapmoto.com/ram-mounts-1-34-ball-with-m10-x-1-25-thread-321-9079 and www.chapmoto.com/ram-mounts-standard-double-socket-arm-400-rap-b-201u There you have it... Thanks for watching. - Kyle
Where can you get locks like Noraly on her ADV channel Itchy Boots has?? Otherwise they get stolen.
Amazon has the locks. I must be lucky to have never had a mirror stolen over the past 6 years and 200,000 miles! Thanks for watching!
Why the DCT with the smaller gas tank? Curious as to what drove you to trade.
Thanks for watching Jim. Several reason really... 1st: I wanted to FEEL if there really is a big difference between the way the Standard AT feels as compared to the ATAS. 2nd: The ATAS was not available in DCT when I was ready to pick up... Not happy with less fuel... but will work around it. Having been on the bike for three weeks now, I can say that if the standard AT had better suspension, I actually would like it a bit better than the ATAS... Go figure! - Kyle
Do you think you like the DCT enough to stay with it? I have a Super Tenere and thought one day getting a goldwing dct and a CRF650L for the trails. Curious what your thoughts are on the dct? Thanks. By the way...like your videos a lot.
@@jimwms1able Great question Jim. For a Goldwing, Heck Yeah! For an off-road bike, probably not... unless I can ADD a clutch lever so I can slip the clutch when necessary to keep the bike balanced. Thank you for your support, it is much appreciated. - Kyle
