When I started building my first motorcycle five or so years ago, my plan was simple: an engine build. But as I delved deeper into the mechanics, I realized the endless potential for upgrading and enhancing every component. What started as an engine project evolved into a quest for perfection, where every added part had to be a genuine improvement over the original.
In this pursuit of excellence, one challenge stood out: finding the perfect mirrors. My goal was a restomod style (OEM+) where the bike would look factory-fresh but perform better in every way. I scoured the market for mirrors that were not just different, but truly better than the original equipment. Most options were a letdown-full of plastic components that felt like a downgrade in both quality and functionality.
As an industrial designer, I wanted to incorporate components that were objectively superior. That’s when I discovered motogadget’s mo.view mirrors, specifically the mo.view spy. These mirrors are a masterpiece: glassless, crafted from CNC-machined aluminum with a mirror-like finish. The visibility is unmatched, surpassing that of traditional glass mirrors, and the all-metal construction means there’s no risk of shattered glass in the event of an accident.
Incorporating these mirrors into my build was a no-brainer. They embodied the spirit of my project: only make changes that objectively improve the bike. The mo.view mirrors not only met this standard, but also enhanced the motorcycle’s overall look and performance.
In the end, the Motogadget mo.view mirrors became a key part of my build, a testament to the philosophy that if you’re going to upgrade, do it with the best. It’s this personal commitment to quality that transforms your motorcycle from a simple backyard project into your own masterpiece.
