Trying out different mirrors, this one is from Holden, racing mirrors - a mixture of chrome and black trim items

Personally I would delete the mirrors for a cleaner look to the sides. Everything is easily visible in a Morgan and they always stick out like sore thumbs no matter the variant

I like them on your color M3W. Orange and black just go together for me. The low sleek style is nice too.

Mirrors are a necessary evil and in most states here you have to have at least the driver's side mirror.

What's the view angle like? They seem a bit off style but like Dan said they work with your color combo. What's the viewing angle on those, flat or convex. Would be nice to see a shot from the cockpit looking into the mirror in comparison to the original.

I also live in the states...

Most states classify this as a motorcycle and motorcycles are not required by law to have any mirrors. The mirror rule of needing at least one only applies to cars.

I was thinking the same thing Krod. Is this classified as a car up there in Missouri Dan?

Motorcycle and you guys are probably correct, car not bike.

I know on cars, some are grandfathered in, like a Model T as an example, and don't need seat belts, turn signals etc. They only require what was standard when manufactured. Is it better to have mirrors and seat belts installed in a Model T, yes of course it is.

But on the other hand, my thought was that with either bike or car, if so equipped when new with mirrors, turn signals, seat belts, you have to keep them, not eliminate them.

I know that visibility is good with a M3W, but also on a motorcycle and I would not be without mirrors on any of my motorcycles.

Speaking mirrors and not trying to hijack JV's thread, but here are a couple very dirty pics of the mirrors on my Boardtrack bike project.





You'll notice wires hanging at the grips. Those wires are from the mirrors. These mirrors have hidden gauge LED's under the glass. When powered up, the left mirror has the speedo, left turn arrow, N and high beam indicator. The right mirror has the tach, right turn arrow, low oil pressure and low voltage.



Now back to your regularly scheduled program... smile

The two side mirrors always vibrated a lot and are some what small making it hard to see what's behind you. When I added that center convex Rayco 1960's style mirror, now I could see so much better what's directly behind and off to my right without all the shaking. It really made a difference so that the smaller side mirrors that are on it now are just a quick side reference.

Just wasn't thrilled with the original lollipop factory mirrors.

Motorcycles are required to have mirrors in Maryland.
