Doubletake Mirror Indestructible Motorcycle Mirrors - Adventure Set

Product Information

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. 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. 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.

That it could fold completely out of the way, safe from giving or receiving damage when offroad and, Finally, there is the Trail, which is our smallest offering. As the name implies, I made this for bikes that are all about off-road, and I think it works much better than you would expect from such a small reflector.As for inspiration, thoughts, and ideas, something inside me always is looking at things asking how they could be better. On a personal level, that is both a blessing and a curse. In motorcycle mirrors, I feel I started in a target-rich environment for improvement. My partner in that business and I got countless messages from people who had gone on a trip they might not otherwise have attempted, and their excitement positively glowed out of their messages. We loved that- nothing could be more rewarding, and that is really the same mission we still have even if the product is totally different. The longer 3″ extension arms allow you to adjust the mirrors out to the sides giving you a better view of what’s behind you. Last fall, when I dropped my bike and found myself buying two(!) new master cylinders as a result, and 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.

Starting with the newest, the Scrambler, which is a round reflector on a short stem. This mirror folds really well, is super stable, and has the classic look of a round mirror. I like it on minimal dual-sports and scrambler bikes.

Doubletake Mirrors was born when my passion for riding met my frustration with bad mirrors. One night I had an otherwise minor crash and the OEM mirrors broke both master cylinders on my KTM 950, and I thought “there has to be a better way”. 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. The product meets each of the goals I started out with, and after thousands of miles of testing, has proven to be exactly what I was looking for all those years!" 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. Double Take folding motorcycle mirrors use standard RAM 1″ ball mounts as pivot points on the extension arm for maximum adjustability and impact resistance.

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? 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.Here’s the production area, where we assemble glass into housings and prepare shipments to make their way out into the world. We are so thrilled to be somewhere with good light and clean surfaces. 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."

Double Take Trail Mirror

My first product was a DVD imaginatively titled “Dualsport Riding Techniques”. Since no one has a DVD player anymore, it is not still for sale, but I thought it was pretty good.Where do you get your inspiration, your thoughts, and ideas, do you accept suggestions from customers/ friends? I’m sure the general buying public just thinks plastic is plastic, can you explain why what you use is a lot different than normal? 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.
