Doubletake Mirror Indestructible Motorcycle Mirrors - Adventure Set

Product Information

This brand new version of the incredibly successful Double Take Mirror made specifically for the Adventure Bikes that spend more time on the tarmac. Less vibration and more solid fixing to stop the mirror moving at high speed due to wind blast I'm sure it is possible to break the mirror, but I haven't succeeded yet and I've tried pretty hard, going so far as to race an enduro with the mirror in place.

Where do you get your inspiration, your thoughts, and ideas, do you accept suggestions from customers/ friends? The longer 3″ extension arms allow you to adjust the mirrors out to the sides giving you a better view of what’s behind you. This is the fun part, because it involves riding motorcycles! We put a ton of miles on our products, trying them in every situation we can conceive of, to see if we can find a better way.The product meets each of the goals I started out with, and after thousands of miles of testing, has proven to be exactly what I was looking for all those years!"

The other way to answer the question is a little less direct. There is a common message I see today about “following your passion”. I am uncomfortable with how that message is presented in mass media, like everyone who likes to eat should open a restaurant. I’m passionate about riding motorcycles, and that led me to this idea, but what I enjoy in my work is organizing and problem-solving. ADVrider has been a huge part of our business, and will continue to be. After all, it is ground zero for people all over the world who love riding, like we do! One small annoyance we experienced with the Double Take folding dual sport mirrors was that they sometimes lost their adjustment after riding at higher speeds. The mirrors stayed in place under 80 mph but when traveling any faster, the constant wind pressure would start to push them out of adjustment. Cranking down the twist lever made this occur less frequently. The breakaway design of the Double Take mirrors makes it possible to ride off-road safely without folding down the mirrors.I filed for a patent in 2009, and started selling in 2010. Ten years have flown by- every year has had challenges and opportunities and 2020 appears to be no different. Beyond that, there is a lot of tape on my shop floor from testing the field of view in different configurations, and a few funny stories, like the time we hit the mirror with a baseball bat because we couldn’t stand the thought of dropping the bike to test durability. The mirror survived just fine, by the way. I’m sure the general buying public just thinks plastic is plastic, can you explain why what you use is a lot different than normal? As for inspiration, thoughts, and ideas, something inside me always is looking at things asking how they could be better. On a personal level, that is both a blessing and a curse. In motorcycle mirrors, I feel I started in a target-rich environment for improvement. Many experiments later, the mirror for sale here is the result. The benefits of this system are many, but let me expound on a few:

First, because there are two ball joints, you have the ability to position it exactly where you want it, both when extended for viewing, and also when folded away. Beyond that, we are a true by-inmates-for-inmates story. One inmate helped me design the original mold, and another one did the machine work (and still does all of our mold services). Another was our first employee, and even today, all three of us that work here ride adventure bikes and love travel. Last year, Earl raced the Norra 1000 (and finished 8 th overall!), and Katie did a 6000-mile loop through Mexico on her F650GS. Do you have a product in your line that you feel is genius, but the public doesn’t buy too many of but you feel they should, could you highlight that? That it could fold completely out of the way, safe from giving or receiving damage when offroad and, It’s funny how once you know a little about a subject, you start to see how often the subject comes up and how much there is to learn.Double Take folding motorcycle mirrors use standard RAM 1″ ball mounts as pivot points on the extension arm for maximum adjustability and impact resistance. Starting with the newest, the Scrambler, which is a round reflector on a short stem. This mirror folds really well, is super stable, and has the classic look of a round mirror. I like it on minimal dual-sports and scrambler bikes.
