Many experiments later, the mirror for sale here is the result. The benefits of this system are many, but let me expound on a few:

The product meets each of the goals I started out with, and after thousands of miles of testing, has proven to be exactly what I was looking for all those years!" The new 'Adventure' design uses a wider mirror for better rearward vision, and features a shorter ball connection and corresponding longer RAM arm for better stability at speed and on continuous rough terrain.This brand new version of the incredibly successful Double Take Mirror made specifically for the Adventure Bikes that spend more time on the tarmac. Less vibration and more solid fixing to stop the mirror moving at high speed due to wind blast Starting on the technology side, the XRx gets switchable ABS (with extra functions over the XR), switchable traction control and four throttle maps – Rain, Sport, Road, Off-road – alongside three riding modes (Road, off-road and Programmable). The throttle maps alter how the throttle responds while the power maps alter the ABS, traction control and map settings in one hit. In Programmable mode you can set your own choice of ABS, TC and throttle map. Unlike the base XR, the x gets cruise control as standard alongside a trip computer, which adds journey time, average speed, average fuel economy, fuel consumption and range until empty to the standard bike’s dash display, which has a fuel gauge and gear indicator. In terms of accessories, hard luggage is a very good extra and Triumph’s own aluminium panniers and top box are very popular alongside heated grips and a taller screen. A few owners go for aftermarket seats and replacement end cans but in general Tigers are left pretty standard with only crash protection another common addition alongside an auto chain lube system. What makes the Doubletake mirror so intriguing though – and what gained popularity with dirt riders – was the fact that you’re able to fold the mirrors in once you hit the trail. Doubletake’s first product, the enduro mirror, had major success for rider’s with dual-sport bikes like the KTM 500 EXC, Suzuki DR650, KLX250, and the like. Folks could legally ride to the trail, then fold the mirror in close to the handlebar to prevent damage in the instance of a tip over. This mirror is the product of much frustration- I spent years breaking other designs and wondering what was going on behind me on the road. One small annoyance we experienced with the Double Take folding dual sport mirrors was that they sometimes lost their adjustment after riding at higher speeds. The mirrors stayed in place under 80 mph but when traveling any faster, the constant wind pressure would start to push them out of adjustment. Cranking down the twist lever made this occur less frequently.

Convex lens- we used SAE spec convex glass that provides a nicer field of view than a flat piece would, while retaining the ability to focus on details. First, because there are two ball joints, you have the ability to position it exactly where you want it, both when extended for viewing, and also when folded away.

I have changed the brake/clutch levers to short ones, giving more control & protected these with Storm Barkbusters, converted rims to tubeless, with Avon TrekRiders 50/50 tyres & fitted a prefilter which makes the engine breathe easier and gives better throttle response. I have also had the suspension set up for me. Double Take folding motorcycle mirrors use standard RAM 1″ ball mounts as pivot points on the extension arm for maximum adjustability and impact resistance.
