    For anyone who's on the fence... RAM just let us know that instead of getting us product today, they are sending overnight on Monday. Because we're running a little behind, I'm going to stop the countdown and just leave the discount to stand over the weekend.

    So, last chance for a while to get a great price on the mirror!

    I love my Double Take mirrors so much, I have 7 of them on five bikes.

    Did you know street-legal motorbikes in NV are supposed to have two mirrors?

    Mirror, mirror, on the bar...

    I have an 06 gs dakar and its missing one mirror. I found an M8x1.25 bolt and it fits where the mirror goes. Since ive never seen any of the ram mount products Im wondering if this setup will work. Use the ball plate base with a 3" arm and the double take mirror. Instead of using a screw through the ball plate base I want to use another ball(see here). Then mount my phone like this off of that ball. I just wonder if there is enough room for everything. It seems the phone mount and mirror arm might be too close.

    Thanks

    I haven't tried it, but I think things would work when the mirror is out but possibly preclude folding the mirror. Worst case, I think you'd need a longer RAM arm (the 5.25") to get some extra space... but I'm just guessing!

    Everything is back in stock and shipping!

    I wanted to tell Ned thanks for sponsoring the Westfest Rally this year in Buena Vista and giving us a set of mirrors and his advanced dual sport riding technique video:deal

    I actually just got introduced to the Doubletake mirror when I won a mirror at the Sipipu Shindig in NM. I was really impressed and am going to get anther mirror so I can have them on my 950:deal Really cool products Ned, thanks!! If you make it down we'll have to do a ride.

    Would the two ball mounts be too close together for the arm to even fit on?

    I think they could be clamped at some angles relative to one another, but not have a full range of motion. Just a guess, though!

    Thanks!

    The discount is gone, we are shipping daily.

    Just ordered some more mirrors.

    I have just one on my 450 EXC---works very well.

    And have ordered 2 more for my WR250R. I put 2 mirrors on that bike ----and remembered to order the R/H adapter as the right mirror on Yamaha's has a left handed thread.
    So nice to fold them out of the way when not needed--------or take them off-------takes just a second to do either.

    Great Mirrors.

    Does anybody know what happened to the Double Take Mirror company ? Their website is still up but you cannot place an order through it and the phone # does not ring --- are they out of business?
