Doubletake Adventure Mirrors - Installation & review KTM 790 Adventure

[@MrTeriyakiman]

You have an uncanny back of reviewing things I’m considering buying! Very useful little vid. Keep up the good work sir.

[@mancavemoto]

I’m like google monitoring peoples internet browsing! Lol Glad it was useful

[@jkpinpdx]

PRO TIP: Use the lower rubber boot (cut it to size) from the OEM mirrors to cover the ball mount hardware for a CLEANER look. 👍🏽

[@mancavemoto]

Good tip! thanks

[@markgoodman5781]

Purchased a set and then saw your review. I wanted something I could easily pull in and relocate for filtering through traffic. They are very well made and don't look out of place on an adventure bike. Brilliant adjustability. I would recommend these for functionality but may look odd on something that isn't an off road capable bike. I have an Africa Twin so they look fine imho. Recommended.

[@mancavemoto]

Indeed, I've been really impressed with them

[@vincentjoeycasanova8819]

Hey Tony. i got mine as well. i like your vids especially your reviews. .proud owner of ktm 390 ktm adv. vince here from the philippines

[@bikesnbobs]

Had mine since I dropped my back on tarmac and smashed a mirror they’re great! I was concerned the mirrors could just be undone and stolen. Got the same locking attachments for me peace of mind

[@mancavemoto]

I’m not sure anyone would, but I guess you never know?

[@stevegresty4181]

@@mancavemoto You could just unbolt them at the base though.....

[@lpete531]

Nice👍🏽 also like the windshield you attached. Reviews on all products related to bikes is welcome. Keep it going.

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks, there’s a review of that screen a couple of weeks ago

[@bradb2514]

I love mine on my R1200GS and my wife has them on her bike, a G310GS. In her case, they provided a much better rearward view. Now she sees more than just her shoulders. I’ve never known anyone to have theirs stolen, but good to know there is a solution if desired. I didn’t know that existed.

[@mancavemoto]

Yep, I love this too, such clear vision

[@ironhorsegladiator5034]

Lock or no lock, there is always a way to steal them, I always take them off and lock them in my panniers if I am going to be away from my bike for an extended time.

[@TheRiderGuider]

Great stuff. Top advice re the copper slip and yes a bit of locktite. Thanks for this ... couldn’t make my mind up on which one’s to get for my T7 but the ‘adventure’ is the way after your review. Cheers.

[@mancavemoto]

Glad to help

[@MatheusFerreira-lg3pl]

Thanks for this man. Your reviews and installations have been of great help to me. Cheers

[@mancavemoto]

Glad to help

[@RichO1701e]

Just ordered a pair for my 890 Adventure, £135, ended up buying from Amazon unfortunately. Got 2 security pinlocks direct from RAM mounts, £10 each. MILES better than the OEM ones! Cheers Tony

[@dazzer4220]

Nice review. Had seen these on some other channels and wondered why they were so popular....May consider some for the 850 especially if it's good for vibrations 👍🇬🇧

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks

[@allans7281]

Good video ! moved along at a nice piece with all the information we need

[@mancavemoto]

Glad it was helpful!

[@manontiger]

Thanks. Your video helped. Does the RAM pin lock has any specifications. I mean any particular size I would need to look for. Can you help me with the link to buy one. ? Thanks.

[@mancavemoto]

No problem. I think the ram locks only come in one size?

[@1990-t1j]

Great mirrors. Happy with my Duke 390 mirrors, though, but obviously it's not an adventure bike.

[@mancavemoto]

I think the duke mirrors are the same as the ones I removed? Nothing wrong with those, I was just worried about dropping the bike off road and doing some damage to the controls

[@BT-ADV]

Can you please show me more on how you have mounted your quadlock in gps bracket Thanks Blair

[@robfearonphotographyhillwa9583]

Are mounts available if your bike isn’t sold with mirrors already I have a Honda Crf450Rx road legal and I’m looking to add mirrors great video by the way thank you

[@mancavemoto]

Yes, Doubletake sell clamp assemblies for a few quid, and you can pick them up cheaply from lots of places

[@TheWizardOfTheFens]

What size pin locks are they? There are quite a few different ones available….. Thanks

[@phukatchodu]

This mirror can be also use as bar end mirror like we get in street triple rs? If yes then I'm gonna order it for my duke 390

[@mancavemoto]

If you can find a way to mount it, then yes

[@jdb36]

great review. One question concerning the used KTM 790 Adventure: which windscreen is that? (4:10)

[@jdb36]

I found the answer on your fb facebook.com/groups/1824483411197787/user/543611374/ :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHbCin6Ml5dsbZI Thx!!

[@mancavemoto]

Its the MRA sports screen, you can see my install & review at kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHbCin6Ml5dsbZI

[@scottc3]

Yes, have these on my GSA. 👍

[@mancavemoto]

I was very impressed

[@jansmatildasadventures5227]

Hello, can I ask where did you get the lock from to prevent theft?

[@mancavemoto]

I ordered it online, but I think Doubletake now list them on their site?

[@ironhorsegladiator5034]

I would paint the adapters black. The back of the mirror looks as if it is oily, but it just looks like that!

[@mancavemoto]

Yes its just the moulding marks

[@datrucksdavea2080]

ty, explaining the key lock

[@mancavemoto]

no problem

[@datrucksdavea2080]

@@mancavemoto lol I got them because they looked easier to turn, I was wondering why they seemed to come of, got ty

[@crijn]

What length are these? Medium or long?

[@mancavemoto]

The Adventure mirror sets comes with Ram XL arms as standard - 6in

[@nicholaschai4458]

100% satisfactions 👍👍👍

[@mancavemoto]

Yep :)

[@muddyboots-mac]

whats the length of the claw

[@mancavemoto]

15cm or 6 inches

[@SquareWaveSymphonies]

Very cool concept, but I think they could really improve on the looks by just making those adapters black instead of just bare metal.

[@mancavemoto]

Yep, probably an easy fix at home. Anodising them just pushes the cost up I guess.

[@tijmenwobben]

Cool!

[@mancavemoto]

Cheers

[@ecosse_adv]

Locks are pointless...anyone can just screw them off at the base. BTW you can ft them without the adaptors, just buy an extra clamp from the clutch lever and fit on the brake lever.

[@mancavemoto]

True, but it stops the opportunist thief with no tools but anyone determined to steal them will do so whatever. Thanks for the tip. Yep that’s an option but as the adapters are only $5 it’s not too much of an issue I guess?

[@SsiolisP]

Ah, I see. Now all the fuss over these makes sense.

[@mancavemoto]

Indeed

[@MrDazza64]

Ram mount mirrors might be very functional, but my god they’re the ugliest mirrors on the market. Plus they’re silly money for what is essentially less then 50 pence worth of plastic! Just carry a spanner and take your mirrors off if you’re that precious about them or carry a spare set costing all of ten quid with you! Hinged, flip in mirrors for 8.99 a pair from China off eBay for me every time and look great! ...but thank you very much for the time and effort! Over 100 notes for a pair of crap looking mirrors...you need your bumps feeling with a mallet dude! 🤣🤣🤣 Regards, Dazza. 🇬🇧

[@mancavemoto]

They are more of a functional rather aesthetic choice for sure, mind you I never really consider the looks of a mirror tbh. Its not the damage to the mirrors per se, its the potential for snapping or breaking the clamp with rigidly fixed mirrors. I've also got extra ram arms for mounting GoPros etc. Horses for courses I guess. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers Tony

[@MrDazza64]

@@mancavemoto - Horses for courses as you say dude! If you can afford to spend that kind of dosh on a pair of mirrors, then why not! 👍
