Mirrors and full cage
Anyone got a good solution for fitting mirrors to a full cage that would meet SVA?
I was thinking simple round scooter mirrors with an 8mm thread and a ring of ali round the cage leg and the ends bend out at 90 degrees and the 8mm
thread of the mirror clamping it tight.

Or shall I just fit some tidy mirrors to the scuttle?
Thanks,

Cheers Marc - simple!
I have a pair of racetech's that I was going to use after SVA and rivet the neat bracket to my cage, but now I don't know whether to use
some motorbike ones on the scuttle.
Hmmmm,

mainly, also R1 mirrors popular too.
I found they sat at a better amgel and the "boot " still worked properly with little modification.

Doesn't help you on side mirrors but have you seen the large roll-bar mounted mirrors that some of the RGB boys use? I think they're from
Longacre and look perfect.

Oi! ya cheeky whipper-snapper !!!...
I got mine about 4 years ago now, they do sit nicely, and can be adjusted like normal mirrors!....
I don't know what others with cages fitted for SVA have used, I expect since I got mine (which are 'E' marked btw), there are more
choices.....
As far as I know, I was the first to SVA with full cage in situ... (well down south anyway...according to Mitcham VOSA).
