The Best Motorcycle Mirrors Just Got BETTER: New Doubletake Mirrors Install

Рет қаралды 19,957

Ай бұрын

I've been running DoubleTake adventure and dual sport mirrors on literally every off road motorcycle I've owned over the last 7 years. They're my favorite product because they're indestructible and infinitely adjustable, and they offer a much better field of view when compared to stock mirrors.
Somehow, Doubletake has taken an amazing product and made it even better by adding an uncrushable ball, bigger adjustment knob, a new arm design, and a load of other small improvements including extending their lifetime warranty to cover every part of the new motorcycle mirror design. Doubletake mirrors are the best motorcycle mirrors out there and in this video I'll walk you through the improvements to the new Double take mirrors as well as the new Double Take mirror install process.

Heavy crasher tip: I run my doubletake's with the adjuster handles facing the front of the bike so they don't catch and grab onto loose parts of my riding gear on my way down. Trust me when I say that crashing is slightly less comfortable when your arm is bonded to the mirror arm as you're heading quickly to the floor. As me how I know LOL.

Doubletake needs to invest in better glass in their mirrors. One trip and you start to see fine scratches all over the glass no matter how careful you are. Also, a clamp at each end works way better than a single clamp in the middle. You want to be able to adjust the mirror without messing where you have the arm set.

@noControl556 Ай бұрын

I prefer the Touratech on the ADV bike since I seldom remove the mirrors or even fold them down. They stay in place better, are less bulky, and if you want to fold them in its' just a quick flip back and forth and don't have to re-adjust when you return to the folded-out position. With typical ADV bike tip overs they just fold in if the bike even falls over enough touch them. I think the Doubetake are better for dual sport bikes where if you take it off road where mirrors aren't required it's easier to just pop them off all together and they seem more robust for more extreme crashes or if you hit a branch at speed, etc. But I can never get them to fully hold the position when adjusted no matter how hard I torque them down, and then when you do need to adjust it's kind of a pain. I break it down too, if you like using mirrors, use the Tourtech, if you just have a mirror to meet legal requirements, double take, somewhere in the middle just have to consider those factors.

@ohTHATaaronbrown 29 күн бұрын

I tried the touratech mirrors, and found them completely unusable for highway speeds - they shook so bad I couldn't see anything in them. The doubletake mirrors have no such stability issues at freeway speeds.

"Crushing Balls" is no good except maybe in this case it would keep your mirror from moving easy. The "reverse thread, crap" is probably so the mirror will not loosen or will so it don't break. The new one without the soft Balls may not be as good but thanks for testing all this stuff for everyone! Can't wait to see more DR650 videos because I'm a big guy also! Any chance a DR is in the near future? I would want a DRZ also where you live but Ohio is mostly back roads or an hour ride to a place to ride (with back injuries I want mild instead of wild adventure)so dirt roads would be great as long as we are allowed on them.

Just to clarify, this is not an "upgrade" specifically. RAM Mount started making their own mirrors so Doubletake decided to copy the RAM ball and socket design and sell their own arms and balls. Personally, I'd rather spend my money on a tried and trusted (almost 30 years of design and engineering) RAM Mount solution, but each to their own.

I recently dropped my Transalp in the garage. It was not running. It broke off both stock mirrors's mounts after hitting the doors of the workbench that was on the right side to the bike The mirrors and their arms were unmarked and displayed no visual damage. But the lever perch mounts to the handlebars were the mirror adapter threads into the female threaded hole snapped off for both mirrors. The weakest point I guess. The bike fell to the right side with the mirriors hitting the doors of the workbench that was on the right side to the bike. I was standing on the left side and could not hold the bike up once it started to tilt too far over away from to the its right. I was fortunate that was all the damage to the bike plus the right handguard shield was scuffed. I did try to slow its decent as it fell onto the cement floor. There was no mark on the Hepco Becker skidplate or lower crashbar. The right perch clamp for the braker master cylinder is back ordered. I easily use a 90 degree piece of bracket metal from HomeDepot to make a mounting bracket with a few small washers and longer bolts.

Perhaps slightly less quality? I don’t know. But When it comes to clones that’s what I’m use to getting.

So if I have read this right, Double Take have gone from using a tried and tested KNOWN and reputable product in RAM mounts and then copied the idea, and made their product incompatible with RAM products thereby forcing you to buy yet more of their "proprietary" product and no doubt charging an arm and a leg in the process?

I use these mirrors..the "old" version. I understand these "new" ones are "new" but I fail to see why they are "better". So what if the ball gets a weird shape. It doesn't affect the performance of the mirror. So what if the arm is longer. Longer and shorter arm are available online from many manufacturers, including RAM Mounts. The weight is negligible. So why are they "better"? Companies have to make thigs "better" so we buy new things, like mtn bikes and ski equipment and so many other things.

@@DorkintheRoad and you delete my rebuttable…did I strike a nerve?…. Obviously. Here’s a recap.. you have ZERO credibility to offer reviews .. you have no racing experience, off road resume’ not even a single off road school taught by an accomplished off roader.. ZERO NOTHING NADA, but yet you fancy yourself an “influencer” and accomplished “ reviewer “… you are a poser like 99% of the ADV riders out there sporting their $1000 6D helmet and bathed in KLIM gear from head to toe..grow some ballz and hit single track or and enduro instead of mindless smooth road “adventures” but yet you shizzle your pants when faced with 1 inch of snow…. Yup.. I’d buy anything you’re pitching… you may fool the other wannabees with your dribble, but we in the true off road community , with decades of off road and racing experience chuckle and your charlatanism….. sit down Ben , forgo Golden Corral and hit the treadmill…..
