My 2007 RKC mirrors are starting to go bad. Would like to get some opinions on the convex or the flat glass types. It has the convex on it now, but I'm thinking about putting flat glass on for better depth perception. Don't know if I would limit my field of view to much though by going with the flat glass.
Thanks,
Ron
The flat ones are a bit more critical, adjusting them so you can get the best view. With several bikes I have both types and can't say which I prefer, depends more on size and shape. My old Evo has rectangular ones which give a better view than some of the more trendy odd shapes.
I don't think I have ever tried the convex mirrors. I usually look in the mirrors first and then turn my head and actually look before making a lane change.
