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. 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:

Double Take Mirrors - Adventure Made By Inmates for Inmates / Double Take Mirrors - Adventure

Do you have a product in your line that you feel is genius, but the public doesn’t buy too many of but you feel they should, could you highlight that? Where do you get your inspiration, your thoughts, and ideas, do you accept suggestions from customers/ friends?

First, it starts with the pure joy we have all felt when we let the clutch out and felt the freedom and grace and balance that is riding a motorcycle. That was true when I was a little kid stealing rides on a friend’s XR 75, and it’s still true today. Every single time. Beyond that, there is a lot of tape on my shop floor from testing the field of view in different configurations, and a few funny stories, like the time we hit the mirror with a baseball bat because we couldn’t stand the thought of dropping the bike to test durability. The mirror survived just fine, by the way.

DoubleTake Adventure Mirror - foldable mirror new!!

From day one, we have had a lifetime warranty on the body of the mirror, and I’m amazed at how rarely we are taken up on that promise. Our warranty policy is – send us a picture and a story and we’ll send you a mirror, and we don’t get very many.ADVrider has been a huge part of our business, and will continue to be. After all, it is ground zero for people all over the world who love riding, like we do! The breakaway design of the Double Take mirrors makes it possible to ride off-road safely without folding down the mirrors. That it could fold completely out of the way, safe from giving or receiving damage when offroad and, Beyond that, we are a true by-inmates-for-inmates story. One inmate helped me design the original mold, and another one did the machine work (and still does all of our mold services). Another was our first employee, and even today, all three of us that work here ride adventure bikes and love travel. Last year, Earl raced the Norra 1000 (and finished 8 th overall!), and Katie did a 6000-mile loop through Mexico on her F650GS. 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.

I'm sure it is possible to break the mirror, but I haven't succeeded yet and I've tried pretty hard, going so far as to race an enduro with the mirror in place. 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. Eventually, when I dropped my bike and found myself buying two(!) new master cylinders as a result, I decided it was time to make a really good mirror, one that would function well as a mirror, and also protect the bike (and me) from damage." Do ADVrider and its inmates play a big part in your business, do you offer any kind of incentive or discount for inmates? (what is your user name and main vendor thread link)I filed for a patent in 2009, and started selling in 2010. Ten years have flown by- every year has had challenges and opportunities and 2020 appears to be no different. It’s funny how once you know a little about a subject, you start to see how often the subject comes up and how much there is to learn. 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
