  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Good low profile mirrors ?

Anyone know of some good low profile aftermarket mirrors they can recommend? Carbon fiber backs would be preferred. .
 
They are a really nice setup! The issue for me is , my bike came from the dealer with aftermarket msr wrap around brush guards that I also like. (Similar to the ones referenced) just without the flip out mirrors..maybe ill just change the whole setup if I can't find adaptable mirrors.. thanks for the advice.
 
I have some awesome mirrors that I can run in the tightest single track. I bought some allow "bar end" mirrors off Amazon for like $20. They mount perfectly inward of the controls and are basically flush with the bars. The oblique lens provides a great view behind me. So far, with two long dirt weekends behind me, they have worked great.

Do you have a pic of your set up?
 
I've got Double Takes and would agree they are the best I've found. They have good reach and provide a great view when in use. They fold away easy when on the trails. They aren't perfect, though. Mine sometimes slip out of adjustment no matter how tight I get the Ram arm, and getting them back into position after folding them away isn't a simple process. Not perfect, but the best I've found so far.
 
I contemplated the double take last year but never bought one. I just use my left stocker when needed and once off road stow it in my pack.
 
+1 on the double takes. I've used them on other bikes and they hold up really well and easy to adjust even with gloves on. The only downside is the price really.
 
Here, I decided to post some pics. I wasn't sure when I ordered them, but Amazon has such an easy return policy that if they didn't appear to be well made i would send them back. They are all aluminum construction and really well made. I stated with both, but realized that one was plenty so I gave the other to a buddy. $19 for a set of mirrors delivered!

Here is the linky to Amazon:

Double Take have done a good job for us. Pretty easy to fold over the center to run tight trails and then open up to get home. The company guarantees also the product against breakage, we have both went down with them out and they just bent...... At first, I held up at the $100 per bike cost of admission, but now I'm glad a ordered two sets for our bikes.

Hey bigmo, I'm assuming that you just removed the bar end from the bracket and it bolted right up to the bars? Any other parts needed for those mirrors
