      Yep, apparently the original stealth mirrors (way more expensive too!) are longer and better but the cheap ones from amazon are crap. I recently installed the short versions of the ninja 400 mirrors they are so cool! Vid coming up soon!

    I use this on my ninja 300. Works fine. Can never beat Mickey Mouse stock mirrors but much better than inclined or inverted bar end mirrors. I can feel the aerodynamic gains too compared to a stock or bar end mirrors. Lane splits is a breeze.

Something to remember as well i guess is that due to the angles and shape of the motorbikes it may not be the best ‘one fits all mirror’ eh, I can tell u man i love the mirrors but can only see my hands when they are on the ninja 400. Imagine that for a beginner 🫣 thx for the input btw! I Appreciate it.

    @ThraxJay 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Ima be honest with you. While I get your point, you don’t seem to understand the other side. These mirrors are intended for people who shoulder check instead of mirror check( like you should be doing anyways) but don’t want to remove their mirrors for legal reasons. If it were legal a lot more people would get rid of the mirrors entirely as on most bikes it ruins the look and makes lane splitting a pain.

    These mirrors are only for the looks, the only reason people dont just remove them completely is because they are required by law. So if you get pulled over you can just show them that you have 2 mirrors. Thats basically all there is to it

    These type of mirrors popped up year or so ago and I cringe everytime I see a new rider flock to these. They are a cosmetic item as far as I'm concerned. The stock mirrors are unnecessarily long imo, so I have replaced them with the Ninja 300 stock mirrors which are tad shorter and makes the bike a look a little bit smarter without sacrificing practicality.
