Doubletake Mirror Indestructible Motorcycle Mirrors - Adventure Set

Product Information

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. We carefully select products that we have tried and tested ourselves and found them to be essential to our wider riding community. The truth is, it takes a lot longer than it seems like it should- 6 months or more. When you make something with molding, you only get one shot at getting the design right, so you have to think through lots of aspects that aren’t immediately apparent or else changes get expensive! The RAM-B-108BU consists of a 1" diameter rubber ball connected at a right angle to a v-shaped base. The RAM-B-108BU accommodates rails from 1.0" to a maximum of 2.1" in diameter. Truthfully, I’ve been surprised at how long it took for the Trail mirror to catch on. I wanted to make something absolutely minimal, as simple and unobtrusive as possible, that still hits the mark of being useful. The trail mirror is that, and it is starting to sell better, but for a long time, I was mystified by how few people chose it.

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. This mirror is the product of much frustration- I spent years breaking other designs and wondering what was going on behind me on the road. Eventually, when I dropped my bike and found myself buying two(!) new master cylinders as a result, I decided it was time to make a really good mirror, one that would function well as a mirror, and also protect the bike (and me) from damage."

My partner in that business and I got countless messages from people who had gone on a trip they might not otherwise have attempted, and their excitement positively glowed out of their messages. We loved that- nothing could be more rewarding, and that is really the same mission we still have even if the product is totally different.

Adventure starts with a passion for the unknown, and we believe a willingness to explore can happen in your own neighborhood or across the world. That willingness comes from confidence in yourself and dependable equipment, and when you have it, you can cross the continent or get lost going to get milk."

Recommended for applications where mirror will be most often folded (Dual Sport and Trail applications). 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. Horizontal Split Clamp attaches to your handelbar. The standard Ball Stud (10mm x 1.25) threads directly in and you can mount your mirror setup.

Finally, there is the Trail, which is our smallest offering. As the name implies, I made this for bikes that are all about off-road, and I think it works much better than you would expect from such a small reflector. Everything you might possibly need to fit the mirrors to you bike or move it to another bike in the future. 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!"

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. 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. Here’s the production area, where we assemble glass into housings and prepare shipments to make their way out into the world. We are so thrilled to be somewhere with good light and clean surfaces. 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?

Not as much as you might think. Of course, we use CAD/CAM to design our parts, and 3D printing to test models, but beyond that, our products are pretty old school.Convex lens- we used SAE spec convex glass that provides a nicer field of view than a flat piece would, while retaining the ability to focus on details.
