When I flipped the mirrors under the bars, I tried running just one on the left. After about 20 miles of looking over my right shoulder to see who was back there, I put the right side mirror back on.

 

Good consideration. Thanks all for posts and opinions. Somewhat in favor of 2. Guess I'll have all winter to think about it

Got none, keeps the bike symmetrical. Senomo, damn - that's a good lookin' bike. Three things jump out at me - bars, slammed, & front fender.

 

I have always run two.... I like to see what is going on around me

Not sure waht my state requires, good point though to check that, but where I live around NYC even 2 mirrors isn't enough.

Looks wise I would go no mirrors, safety wise I would go with 2

 

I grew up in LA traffic & had only 1 mirror (all that was required back then) & never even thought about it. It's a matter of getting used to always looking over the shoulder. Now however, I'm not as quick (mentally or physically) & need all the help I can get, so it's 2 for me. I did flip them though & it took a little getting used to raising my arm slightly in order to see anything but again, you can get used to anything.

 

The question surprises me : I couldn't image only 1 mirror as vehicles may come from left or from right. When riding in heavy traffic, it is a security requirement. A must have.

 

ain't that right. you need someone sitting back to back with you letting you know what's going on hahaha.

 

I only run 1... But I do miss the other sometimes?

 

Back in the day, we were running faster than traffic, especially when it was heavy, so all our attention was on what's ahead.. ah yes, the good old lane splitting days!
