Bullet Speed Top Rearview Mirror Input?

Quote from 123hotdog

I need a little input from somebody a little smarter than me. Before I get into it, I did search on the forum for like a half hour but didn't have any luck. All of my searches for rear view mirrors that came up were for side mirrors. I have a Bullet Speed top and would like to mount a rear view mirror on the roll bar ( I am getting a turbo in the fall and somebody will finally be behind me). I am putting two links of two that I am looking at. I would love to hear from someone that has a Bullet Speed top with a mirror mounted on the roll bar.

Input form some of you folks that have a similar mirror on a side by side would be helpful as well.

Thanks to all my Slingshot brothers and sisters in advance for your input.

Tim just worry about 'what's' in front of you. You wont be using to much 'turbo' when going backwards. Hope all is well in Bristol.

I have a TD Top and installed this multi-panel mirror - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B006K8VHU8/. It's been in place for over 4 years now and some of the silvering is gone from the edges of the mirrors, but it provides excellent rear view coverage and virtually eliminates blindspots.

I drilled holes for the screws to fasten the L-shaped brackets and didn't think about using some screw-type hose clamps to fasten the brackets to the top frame w/o needing to drill any holes.

I installed a straight mirror and ended up putting a curved one over it....so get a curved one.

Mine has a single mount and it bounces around a good bit...so the two bracket mirror is A good idea.

I did the same as BKL . Love the rear visibility. No blind spot issues at all . Love it.

JUST SAYIN

I hope it fits the pipe diameter. I bought some universal clamps that came with different rubber grippy things to fit different diameter pipes.

I used some electrical pipe clamps with little ingenious attachments works great.

Mirror performed flawlessly for over 300 miles today. I did hear the wind coming around it but I currently have a stock windshield.

Are you going to change windshields?

Absolutely. I am prob doing the double bubble adjustable one or the Nascar tallboy. Not sure yet.

Up in the Frozen North I have the F4 5+ and love it, but need to add Baker 'Air Wings' to really make it work. Keep cold out and to bring cool in. I would look real strong and the double bubble ... Did you ride in Harvey Slingshot when you were together?

The F4 5+ and the Nascar are very similar and block a lot of air so you will need a way to bring some in.

It also allows a lot of heat to stay in the cockpit. I rode about one week with the +6 that was on Sling II last summer. It was like riding in an OVEN

Different parts of the country we need to set up our rides differently...
