Absolutely genius idea. I'm mad I never thought of that. I no longer have these mirrors because someone swerved into my lane last second as I was lane splitting and totaled my bike (so I no longer have a bike). Pinning your comment for future doubletakers(?) to see.

I have a set I moved to three bikes over the last eight years. The movability benefit offsets the cost. They have held up pretty well and do have resilience to the effects of crashing. I have an unfounded foiba of the stock mirror stem stabbing me in the chest in a crash. Cool video. Liked the multi position demonstration segment. Good to see a video from you.
@MotoCampAdventure2 жыл бұрын
Very true that you can just move these from bike to bike. They don't seem to break which honestly I should have mentioned. That stock mirror stabbing in the chest phobia is a thought I've had as well hahaha

I haven't seen a video from you in a while, and I forgot how many subs you had. I assumed at least a few hundred thousand. Great production quality, I love the video style. I have been having the same problem with the mirrors on my suzuki vstrom, and this gives me a good idea of what I want to get now. I also ran into that problem with the balls deforming with my old ram mount cellphone holder, I just removed it since my phone always seemed to overheat anyways.
@MotoCampAdventure2 жыл бұрын
That's quite the compliment. I'm sure if I could focus my attention and effort into the channel consistently I could get it somewhere lol. It's just sort of been a hobby to occasionally make a video. Yeah I think all of the RAM mount related products are going to have a similar problem over time. I will say that the actual RAM mount brand stuff is seemingly made of a slightly different material than the doubletake mirror balls are. Anyway, I haven't found a better solution and don't have the money to buy something different anyway, so these will have to do for now. Thanks for watching!

@human15134 ай бұрын
A little thread locker can help to stop any mirror from rotating. But then they will likely break in some way when the get hit during a tip over as they will not spin on the threads a bit. On a Honda Transalp the mirror mounts will break yet have no marking or damage to the mirror, and new lever perches will need to be replaced. Ask me how I know. LOL

I have the enduro mirros... I've put them on a couple bikes and when riding off-road, half the time I have to remove them because I can't keep them from falling down. So frustrating. That said, much better than the stockers and they'd probably be better if I went with the super-short Ram arm. The mirrors that go inside the HDB handguards are still my fave. Good work, man!
@MotoCampAdventure2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yeah generally better than stock if you're off road at all. Sometimes I do miss the stock ones not folding back at speed though haha.

I have a '12 F800GS and I just broke a mirror. It broke at that "sacrificial" collet piece that mounts in the handlebar. It's a BMW part so it's not cheap, but it's still less than the Double Takes. I really thought hard about buying the Double Takes, but in the end decided to just fix the OEMs. I mean, I don't dislike my mirrors. They aren't round so they have some of that benefit of elongated mirrors that you were talking about. I also didn't know that the Double Takes get loose after a while. That's disappointing. I don't know, my OEM mirrors have never moved (except when I crashed and it hit the ground). Not sure I'll be in a hurry to get the Double Takes.
@MotoCampAdventure Жыл бұрын
I would just keep using OEM if they don't come loose on you and never look back (pun?). The doubletakes only really move if you're using a bike cover.
