Bob may have seen these as I did on the Burgman site, but I haven't seen anyone here say if they have tried them.

Automotive Safety Accessories Introducing the Auxiliary Mirror

Looks like they may be useful on the CTX. No, I haven't ordered them yet. I am posting to see if anyone else has tried them already. If no response, then I guess that'll make me the guinea pig.....oink oink

Those are the very mirrors I was thinking of if I were to put on some aux mirrors. Seems they would go with flow of the bike so much better than anything I can think of to mount on the handlebars. I really don't care for handlebar mounted mirrors much.

 

[willajabir]

I thought they would fit the style better than than the standard mirror too. I've seen them on the burgers and they look good. Look like they belong rather than added on.

I will try these for that price you can not lose much. I have installed the mirrors into the lever mounts on the handlebars. Did it for my USA 4 corners tour. Still glad I did it,, took the worry out of riding thru the cities like MIAMI during construction, and OMG california ..

 

[Ravgardner!]

Will,
Could you post pics of these on your CTX please?

 

[willajabir]

Rav,
Don't have them yet. I had them on the Burgman scooter and while reading others complaints about the mirrors, I remembered them. I knew Bob had also had a Burgman, that's why I directed the 1st post at him. I was hoping someone had already tried them and just not posted. Looks like kniterider is volunteering to be the tester. If he doesn't post a pic in a couple weeks, I'll order them anyway and see what happens.

While we're on this topic, my dealer - the sales guy - mentioned that there may have been a service bulletin on the handlebars adjustment to improve the view. I know I can just adjust it on my own, but curious if anyone can verify if indeed there was a bulletin issued by Honda? Just need to know the contents.

 

[bob]

Haven't heard of a bulletin yet, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.
Wouldn't surprise me since we here all know (as it's been posted a number of times early on) to adjust the bars down. I have mine adjusted down so the cables hanging just below the bars are maybe a half inch or less above the storage pocket doors when they are open. I also rotated both reservoirs forward to drop them as well for improved view of the mirrors. I have been very satisfied with this adjustment and have no more problems seeing behind than I did with my ST1100. These aux mirrors posted about by @willajabir are the very mirrors I've been thinking about adding if I add any at all. Will likely add them since it is good to have more if they flow with the bike aesthetics IMO.

 

[willajabir]

Ditto, Bob...I adjusted my like that before leaving the dealer...BUT only because I read about it here before buying.

Did you get/install these yet? If so, I would like your feedback and any photos if possible.

J'ai acheté ces rétroviseurs, on ne voit rien dedans !
je les ai jetés
en plus le plastique noir est très sale ...

 

[willajabir]

@gpa, thank you. I do believe I would have resold or used them somewhere rather than trash them.....but i understand.

I received them about a week ago. I will try and get them on the bike while I am on evening shift this week and take pictures

 

[kniterider]

I installed them late last night when I got home,, actually real early this morning about 0230. Looked pretty good this afternoon when I walked out in daylight to go towork.. will try them in traffic hopefully Saturday before I go into work

 

[Opelmel]

Did anyone ever provide any feedback or photos for these mirrors?

 

[Rp007]

I rode off from the dealership 6 months ago and could not see a bloody thing. On about the third intersection I thought I had made a mistake so I rode straight back to the dealer. Handlebars adjusted in no time and no further problems. I realize now of course there was no mistake....we have great bikes!!! At least the dealer knows to check this for his customers before they head off. My dealership has only sold 2, mine was the second. Such a shame people are missing out on such a great machine.

@Opelmel, Yes, but in a separate thread. I did try the Aux mirrors but they didn't work out as I was hoping. I bought the large version that fit on top the OEM mirror covers. As observed by a few others who tried the same, these gave an even better view of your grips and knuckles than the OEM mirrors and a little bit of the view behind, so they did supplement the OEM mirror view. The bigger issue for me was that they vibrated too much to be useable IMHO, so I returned them. As I have posted elsewhere, I find the OEM mirrors to be sufficient for me and give me the same view as I had with my ST1100. The ONLY difference there is with narrower bars the ST1100 didn't have the reservoirs slightly blocking view to the mirrors, but still did show my fingers in the mirror view and did have my hands blocking the very bottom of the mirrors same as the CTX does for me. I see what I need to see with the stock mirrors.
