Post by: cjaama on May 31, 2011, 09:55:21 AM
i'm taking my road test thursday and my bike tipped this weekend and i lost a mirror.
does anyone know what the law is in new york for mirrors? can you legally ride with just one (or none)?

But it is NOT safe and it is no fun pulling onto a road toward the blind side.  You will miss it.  The tapped hole in the grip bolster will take about any metric mirror, get a cheap one to use until your favorite bling one gets in.

Yeah, I'd fix that, mirrors come in handy. I got a cheap universal set on ebay for like $25 shipped.
