Pig Spotters anyone?

[SHIRO HAYABUSA]

Anyone here using these or no of someone that has experience with em? I'm curious to know how poorly you see behind you. I love the look but if I can't see behind me these aren't for me.

see behind you You can't see behind you! They are for looks, or to somehow make your bike seem legal The mirror works, it's just can't be aimed anywhere, not that it would matter.

Personally, as someone who has a brother who is a police officer, I find the name so offensive that I wouldn't buy them whether they worked or not.

Im a cop and I have them as well. They came on the bike when i bought them. 3 words to describe them. CAN'T SEE SH*T. I would rather have the mirror block offs because their worthless.

 

[SHIRO HAYABUSA]

Gotmeabusa: thanks for the insight. That's what I was looking for. The looks are definitely there with these mirrors but it defeats there purpose.

Can barely see around my arms with the stock mirrors that stick way out there. Only pig you'll see with these is maybe yourself.

They really are just for decoration. They are barely functional as a mirror.

I always thought those mirrors would be useless.

Coming from a GSXR750, The Busa mirrors are awesome!

Yup,
I can actually see behind me with the Busa mirrors. My GSXR600 mirrors only showed my shoulders.

I think thats why they are named that way so our LEO friends here shouldn't be offended The company is mostly likely talking about the rider

 

[teddypenn]

i thought they were named in reference to the look of actual pig ears ???

I used mirror blockoffs and "PigSpotter" bar end type mirrors on mine. You can actually see a decent amount since they're further out on the bar ends...

You cant see ****,its only for purposes to avoid being summon or get caught by the police.It looks nicer for those with leds lights on it.Its too expensive too,not worth the money look for other option

Your right, its just to keep the bike in compliance with state laws regarding the use of mirrors. Instead of blockoffs you use the smallest things (pig spotters) resembling a mirror to avoid a ticket.

 

[woodrrow]

Yea, I don't like them. Saw some in person and they are useless..

 

[SHIRO HAYABUSA]

Thanks for pulling me back down to the ground. I was a click away from another spontaneous purchase. I'll keep looking until I find what I need/want.

 

[BusaPops]

See behind you???? Why? Who cares whose losing!!!

I had them but worthless junk. Went back to stock.

 

[sleepless_red]

I won't even think about them. Safety first.
