Steering mirror - perfect symbiosis from style and view
Lowering levels have developed from niche to must-have accessories in recent years. Whether café racer, street tracker or adventure tourer-the slim mirror at the end of the handlebar not only ensures a clean look, but also extends the field of vision, optimizes ergonomics and increases security. In our collection you will find a large selection of designs, materials and assembly systems-from classic round aluminum mirrors to modern, ultra-laugh variants from CNC-frosted stainless steel.
In this detailed description (approx. 2 200 words) we shed light on:
- ✓ The historical development and design trends
- ✓ Different designs and assembly systems
- ✓ Materials, surfaces and manufacturing processes
- ✓ Ergonomics, field of vision and legal aspects
- ✓ Installation, maintenance and tips on the Juste
- ✓ Individualization, combination with flashing lights and accessories
- ✓ Common questions and practical tips
History & design development
As early as the 1960s, café racer hobbyists in England experimented with angled mirrors at the handlebar end to perfect the classic "tacho racer" look. Originally, the styling primarily served the hiding places of massive levels and reducing wind resistance, later comfort and safety came to the fore. Today's manufacturers combine iconic round shapes with aerodynamic housings and modular assembly clips-a statement for both retro fans and modern customizers.
Construction forms & assembly systems
Screw-in adapter
The classic: A thread adapter replaces the handlebar. Ideal for metal handlebars with screwed end caps. The assembly takes place quickly and without tools, and the mirror sits absolutely without play.
Clamping systems & clamps
Expanding clamps are used for handlebars without threads: an Allen key spans the sleeve against the handlebar. This solution fits all conical handlebars and effectively prevents vibrations.
Track-bar mounts
Especially popular with superbike handlebars: a small bracket is attached to the handlebar clamping area and absorbs the mirror. Perfect positioning and minimal space requirement.
Materials & surfaces
High -quality handlebars are characterized by precise production and durable materials.
✓ Aluminum 6061-T6
CNC milled, hard-free in black, silver or anodized in color-light and corrosion-resistant.
✓ Stainless steel 316
Polished or brushed, extremely robust against moisture and rockfall.
✓ Plastic & nylon
Favorable entry classes with UV-stable housings, ideal for city scooters.
✓ Glass & acrylic level
Wide angle (aspherical) or flat convex glass for optimized field of vision.
Ergonomics, field of vision & legal
Ergonomic positioning
The handlebars are typically adjusted in a line with a forearm and upper body, so that the viewing angle requires minimal head and shoulder impulse to the rear. An angle of 25–30 ° up and 5–10 ° to the outside is optimal.
Viewing field & aspherical technology
A wide field of vision minimizes dead angles. Aspherical mirror glass surfaces expand the viewing angle up to 180 ° and reduce distortions. Pay attention to CE-tested glass quality and break safety.
Legal regulations
In Germany, at least two functional mirrors are mandatory, minimum level size 80 cm². The handlebars are considered equivalent if you guarantee a clear view of 150 m upwards and are installed in the approved position. Check approval (ABE / E number) before purchase.
Installation & Juste
The correct assembly ensures permanent function and prevents loosening:
- Remove the handlebar caps and clean the thread.
- Insert the adapter and tighten with torque in accordance with instructions (usually 5–8 Nm).
- Insert the mirror housing, roughly align, then tighten.
- Bring the handlebars in the driving position, upright the head, adjust the mirror.
- Check the field of vision: Do not take your foot off the floor, arm relaxed.
Regular control after 100 km and every 1,000 km is recommended because vibrations re -enact over time.
Individualization & accessories combination
Delivered mirror can be perfectly combined with other accessories:
✓ LED indicator
Integrated micro indicators in the mirror body, minimal space requirement.
✓ Gripping weights
Anti-vibration weights in combination with mirror holder.
✓ Hand -protectors
Models with breakdowns to absorb your mirror arm.
✓ Gabel terminals
In addition, as a combination solution, if the handlebar position is unfavorable.
Maintenance & care
Steering mirrors are robust, but benefit from simple care:
- ✓ Clean regularly with mild soap water and microfiber cloth.
- ✓ Pull the screw connections with a fine torque.
- ✓ Clean the mirror glass with glass cleaner, use no abrasive.
- ✓ Protect anodized surfaces with silicone spray every now and then.
Common questions (FAQ)
1. Are the handlebars approved?
Yes, with a valid ABE/E number or entry in the vehicle letter, if visibility is guaranteed> 150 m.
2. Do all adapters fit on every handlebar?
Thread adapters (M8/M10) fit common motorcycle handles. For cone sleeves, check the inner diameter of the handlebar (17–22 mm).
3. How do I reduce vibrations?
Combine mirror holder with anti-vibration weights, do without extremely long mirror arms.
4. Which glass shape is recommended?
Aspherical glass offers a larger field of vision (> 160 °) with low distortion.
5. Can I integrate LED indicators?
Yes-many models have M5 drilling or clip systems for micro-LED indicators.
Conclusion - more view. More style. More security.
Steading mirrors are not only a style statement, but offer real added value: improved field of vision, reduced vibration and minimalist design. Our selection covers all needs-from entry-level sets to high-end CNC products with integrated LEDs. Invest in precisely manufactured mirrors, assemble them correctly and enjoy an all -round view that accompanies you safely through traffic and curvy country roads.
