Dino's Mirrors
At the bike show in Seattle last November I picked up a set of Dino's mirrors and a seat hinge. I finally brought my bike home from the shop yesterday. Been setting in the shop waiting for Yosh EMS parts. That is a hole nother story. Anyway the bike is home in the garage where I can tinker on it so out came my mirrors.
The installation process turned out to be a big disappointment. By the time I found a razor knife to cut open the box Dino had packaged my stuff in until the mirrors were on almost 11.5 minutes had passed by! And then there was the issue of cleanup. After finishing the installation I noticed Dino's finger prints appeared to be all over the damn mirrors. After careful scrutinization with a magnifying glass I determined the prints were mine! Oops! Anyway as I cleaned up my mess I then noticed that Dino had actually enclosed instructions to install them with. Oh well so much for directions!! Knowing what I now know I would change the installation process some to speed up the completion. If I eliminate the restroom break and the magnifying glass inspection the install time should drop to 10 minutes or less!!
Dino you make a hell of a product. Top drawer quality, perfect fit and easy to install. Dino, you definitely get two thumbs up for another super nice product.

Sounds like the two thumbs up were ON the mirrors!
I can vouch for the quality of the work. Top notch!

I'm really interested in the mirrors, but just how effective are they compared to the stock mirrors? Thanks.

They don't provide as much vision as the stockers. But they do provide you with a view ofwhat is behind and definitely with the convex mirrors you don't have any blind spots. Will really be nice for riding with a pack of bikes.
My attitude on the stock or nearly stock mirrors are that at speed or in a tuck they are pretty useless anyway. To see to the rear I have to lift an arm or twist which was typical with the stock mirrors. For my style of riding I like them. I usually take a moment to actually turn around and scan the rear horizon before doing silly things. And I have had more problems with blind spots with riding in a pack.
Dino... I definitely would like the new stuff.
