Pig Spotters on a Post Kat??? Anyone got or tried em?

[STULER]

I like the look of the pig spotter mirrors, however i heard that they are pretty much useless. is this true?

[SweetLou]

Useless unless you like the view of your arms and shoulders!

[yngveny]

Perfect for putting on your make- up

"Pretty much" is an over statement. "Completely" would be a better description.

The idea is that in some states you must have rearview mirrors...therefore you remove the stockers and replace with cool looking (yet useless) pig spotters. The name is ironic in that you can't use them to spot pigs but have them in case the pigs spot you. Pigs = cops...or so I hear.

The best mirrors are the OEM ones.

LOL the OEM mirrors do an excellent job. The mirrors on my Ducati are useless. I have to pull my arms in to see what is behind me.

The OEM's gave me great vision behind me cept i thought they were ugly as hell. so i bought CF replacements which work well if not just as good as oem but i dont like the look . safetys prolly more important tho. Thanks guys

From what I've heard, I would tend to agree with everyone else here. Pig spotters are useless, including the newer version, the pig spotter II.

I agree that the stock mirrors are hideous, so I also wanted to put something different on. I got these off of eBay for very cheap, and I have to say they work pretty well, they are slightly smaller than the stock mirrors, but they still provide a really good rear view, and they also pivot out of the way like the stock mirrors do.

Best part is they go on the katana with no modification at all. You just use the stock bolts and you're good to go

Looks good!

I think that the fact that they ONLY come with LED's installed should tell you all you need to know about their usefullness.

btw...if you want to let the CF ones go for cheap let me know

[STULER]

will pm u if i decide to sell em.

[STULER]

Does anyone have pics of a kat with these on em. just want to get an idea of how they look before i even think about buying a set.

I bought the same mirrors as BPryz, but CF look. Glad to see they bolt right up and look better than OEM.
