A lot of satisfied customers gave their feedback on this mirror:
Ever wondered what the purpose of those two big stubbles at the end of your handlebars is? These are what I thought.
Shoot the front three-quarters of the bike from the right-hand side (kickstand away from you) to add depth to the image. The quintessential 3/4 beauty shot. All vehicles are flattered by this angle. Thumb through most motorcycle magazines and you’ll notice there is hardly a single bike in straight profile. No matter where you’re shooting, one key to decent motorcycle photography is making sure you position the bike at a 3/4 angle from the camera. Thumb through the magazine and you’ll notice we hardly ever shoot a single bike in straight profile. The 3/4 angle achieves many things, including elimination of hot spots (bright flares of sunlight) on the chrome and reflections of the photographer. A 3/4 angle is flattering to motorcycles and condenses them into a more solid, aggressive posture by eliminating see-through space, without losing any detail. You can also crop more closely at this angle so the bike or bike and rider better fill the frame. Shot from either the rear or the front, a bike at a 3/4 angle is going to look more attractive than it does in profile. The center of an image is a stable, straightforward place. When you put something there visually, it stays there visually, usually resulting in a static composition. Depending upon the scene – symmetry can be something to go for – or to avoid completely.Tip 3: Creative compositions
<3/4 beauty shot>
<Symmetrical shot>
A symmetrical shot with strong composition and a good point of interest can lead to a striking image – but without the strong point of interest it can be a little predictable.

What are the differences between Ducati Panigale mirrors 1299 and 1199? Can they replace each other? These are common questions we got from our customers.
I’ve wanted to change to a different style of mirror for sometime. I googled it online, most bar end mirrors seem very small, some are stylish but having the risk of not really being able to see well. I came across Triumph stock bar end mirror, it’s a big size round mirror , should be able to see the rear real good.
I asked my Triumph friend out for a test ride. It’s exactly what I was looking for, except for one thing: it’s not for my motorcycle and it’s very expensive too.
IP67 is two numbers, one that refers to the dust resistance rating and one that refers to water resistance.
IP6x is the highest dust resistance rating, so this product is fully protected against dust.
IPx7, the water resistance rating, means this product can withstand immersion in water up to one meter (3.3 feet) for 30 minutes, tested in laboratory conditions.
IPx7 is the second-highest rating, below IPx8, which indicates an ability to withstand long periods of submersion under pressure.
The first number in the rating code represents the degree of protection provided against the entry of foreign solid objects, such as fingers or dust. These protection levels range from 0 to 6.
| Code | Effective against | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | - | No protection against contact and ingress of objects |
| 1 | >50 mm | Any large surface of the body, such as the back of a hand, but no protection against deliberate contact with a body part |
| 2 | >12.5 mm | Fingers or similar objects |
| 3 | >2.5 mm | Tools, thick wires, etc. |
| 4 | >1 mm | Most wires, slender screws, large ants etc. |
| 5 | Dust protected | Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment. |
| 6 | Dust tight | No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact (dust tight). A vacuum must be applied. Test duration of up to 8 hours based on air flow. |
The second number represents the degree of protection against the entry of moisture, with protection levels ranging from 0 through 8.
| Code | Protection against | Test duration | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | - | - | No protection |
| 1 | Dripping water | 10 mins | Protection against vertically dripping water |

| 7 | Immersion, up to 1 m depth | 30 mins | Protected from immersion in water with a depth of up to 1 meter (or 3.3 feet) for up to 30 mins | 8 | Immersion, 1 m or more depth | Varies | Protected from immersion in water with a depth of more than 1 meter (manufacturer must specify exact depth) |
