Just fitted the Riderscan mirror thing to the big Burg. I now can finally see what is behind me!
Hopefully it will also help when I am getting it out the front garden in the morning (already picked up a couple of scratches)
Just had the first ride through rush hour traffic in heavy rain with it. It was handy while filtering when the normal mirrors are folded in - helps see if that guy on the GSX R was keeping up, he was not.
Handy at the lights to see if there is another bike filtering up behind. Also good for spotting cyclists without taking your view off of the lights.
The 15 point turn to get the bike into the front garden - I can finally spot the wall without using the number plate as a stop and thus stop more scratches on the exhaust.
Dual carriageway and motorway will have to wait for a few days
No work for me yesterday,so took the Burgman out for a spin as it was a nice dry day,although chilly,i've had a short ride to try the riderscan,but this was a longer ride.I think its a great idea and works well,i thought i would throw to much concerntration on the riderscan and not on the road ahead,but i did'nt,as far as i am aware i glanced in the riderscan at the same time i glanced in the mirrors,in one sweeping movement,still doing the life savers as well,i may have to drop my sat nav ram mount down,i have a spare handle bar cover,so i'll proberly attach a ram mount to that,need to check that the view of the dash is not blocked when sat nav unit is in place.
I think the riderscan works best in town type traffic as i have said in other postings.

I'm considering one of these as I have trouble looking over my right shoulder. One question: do they wobble with the screen? As this would blur the view in them.
No wobble or blur, though as I have only really been riding through heavy traffic I have not been able to use it 'at speed'. Did help last night spot the chump in his Smart car how sat right in the blind spot of the main mirrors
