Re: Adventure bike mirrors for Suzuki DRZ400S

I use these, good quality. http://www.wemoto.com/parts/picture/vm-e-366/ Me too and I've recommended them to many and have yet to be told I was wrong to do so. They are cheap and they work. Mine are set up so I can just fold them to the middle when on tight lanes. I have one on my 200 stinkwheel to...

Re: A luggage idea?
