Title: Just a thought about the mickey mouse mirrors Post by: DaFoose on April 28, 2010, 09:37:14 AM I was just thinking, anyone ever thought/tried to modify them so that they mount on the bar end?
I thought something to the effect of coming out the bar end and then bend up (or down) then back around the grip. If I had a way to draw it i would. If done properly it might look kind of cool and be real cheap [thumbsup] Title: Re: Just a thought about the mickey mouse mirrors Post by: Spidey on April 28, 2010, 11:42:20 AM It sounds like you're describing mirrors with a position kinda like Napoleon bar ends or the ones on the sport classics.
The only thing I can think of that would make Mickey Mouse mirrors look cool would be to see them explode. If you want cheap but workable bar ends mirrors, you can buy these: http://www.rei.com/product/686043 (http://www.rei.com/product/686043) Title: Re: Just a thought about the mickey mouse mirrors Post by: Kamacho on April 28, 2010, 12:58:04 PM I mounted lasersharks on my mickey mirrors. Only then did they explode.
Unfortunately, it happened too quickly, and I didn't get pictures, so I replaced the sploded mirrors with Rizoma Radial Naked mirrors.

I am not really a fan of them though. Decent visability, but they are so huge. I am also cheap. But mostly I was just wondering if anyone ever modified the stock mirrors in some way that actually looks cool.

Even James Dean couldn't make those mirrors look cool.

Title: Re: Just a thought about the mickey mouse mirrors Post by: DaFoose on April 29, 2010, 01:02:18 PM I might, my brother has them on his bike, is probably the only holding me back from that. But with all the custom stuff people do, I wondered if anyone has done such a thing. I dont even have a pair of the mickeys so honestly I dont think I've ever seen them in person hahaha

Title: Re: Just a thought about the mickey mouse mirrors Post by: Teutonics on May 07, 2010, 03:14:57 AM I need a set for an "experiment"... I'll send PM's to those on this thread, but if you have a set I would gladly take them.
Just know that they will die a horrible death by being hacked to pieces... If "the experiment" works out, there may be new life for these old handlebar warts.
