| O.M.G. WHAT a relief I've only been riding since 1997, but in the 8 bikes I've owned since then, I have NEVER had better mirrors on any bike...scooter or Motorcycle. And that includes the PC800 and the Concours! These things are fantastic!!!!! (as you all already know ) Cath and I were coming up the Tacoma Dome hill and down into Lakewood (notoriously crappy section of I-5) and the mirrors were totally clear. And I mean like GLASS!!!! I'd seen them look like this at lower speeds but it was sooooooooooo nice to be able to look back and keep an eye on the honey behind me and not have to read thru the vibration. O course, sometimes didn't WANT to see the morons tailgating her which makes ME freak out... Thanks Honda!!!!!!!! |

| Okay, alright, I think I understand what you are trying to communicate - the SilverWing mirrors are fairly vibration free? |

| Yeah It's surprising that it seems to be such a hard thing for a manufacturer to get right.. And, so if you don't know the dance correctly they boot you out??? |

| Do I need my Cryptographer's handbooK?
What does "And, so if you don't know the dance correctly they boot you out???" mean? I dance and I ride SilverWings (with vib free mirrors) so your last sentence is a puzzler, unless it is referring to one of my youtube vids... Ah ha! No the lady was pretty visibly miffed. Of course when she blew one it seemed to be okay. That's life I guess. |

| I think the vibe issue is made worse with extenders. We have Honda extenders on our bikes and do not have much vibe. Some vibe during accelleration, but generally vibe free. Wouldn't read a book at speed, but can read some license plates. |
