Hello all,
I recently had a test ride on the 1200gs and as a result ordered one and can't wait to pick it up 1st March .One thing I noticed that I was not particularly convinced by was the small wing mirrors or at least I thought they were small.
I found myself craning my neck all over the place to see what was behind and yes the mirrors were in the best position for me I just found that they were so small I was having to move my head to try and get more view as to what was going on behind me and see what vehicles were near. Has anyone else had this problem or have this opinion or is it just me not getting used to the mirrors yet. My previous bike was a Fjr 1300 and the view behind was good but the mirrors were much bigger.
I know there is no comparison between bikes like these but was just giving my opinion between the two in regard to the view behind usung the mirrors.
I would be interested to know if anyone has changed the standard mirrors if yes to what?
cheers for now djack.
 
Personally I think the mirrors are excellent. On my 1150gs they were slightly better (the best on any bike I've owned) but the 1200 is almost as good.

"WING MIRRORS" Are you sure it was a GS you test rode? My GS hasn't got wings! Where are my wings? I've been ripped off! :mad: :( ;) :D
 
Don't think the mirrors come much better than the GS. Try riding a sportsbike, you'll get a nice view of your elbows.
 
Agreed

They're excellent!

Try my 916 if you want convincing.

I taped up the right hand side of both mine on the GS for the first couple of weeks cos it got a bit hairy seeing all the neddies stacked up in my "I'm running this in...okkkk" wake.

Taped over all of them now. Much better.
