i bought a set of pigspotters and i'm happy with them. but i only purchased them after a ticket for running block-offs instead of mirrors. the pigspotters qualify as legal mirrors but there is no functionality to them at all. they do not adjust and they are just way too small to see anything. but they look cool, and that's what it's all about.

I like pig spotters butt dont think i will switch to them because I do like to be able to use my mirrors. The only way I will switch is if I install the tail mount camera w/lcd that mounts to the fork head. I just want to be able to see whats behind me.

Theyre useless...only reason to get them is to not get a ticket for no mirrors...other than that they are a complete waste of money.

I wouldn't let them touch my bike, I use my mirrors and I don't think that pig spotters look much better anyway

i will post pic's i threw the pig spotters on my orange 06 and think they dont look bad at all. I have pretty broad shoulders so end up turning my head anyway when changing lanes the stock mirrors did not help any i tried every way to use them and it turnd out just to be a hastel not to look over my shoulder.

seen it, it was actually a guy with a DvD recorder for his bike.. tail end has the camera and a small LCD screen on the forks.. it did work for him (but he kept his mirrors on).. but would be a cool mod to do to your bike, but your asking for your LCD screen to get stolen.. haha

pigs are nice, they are more aerodynamic but just not used to them (plus there like my 69 camaro mirrors, you can see sh** in them)
