In most cases, the lowly bike mirror is attached to the front brake lever or clutch master cylinders. Often maligned, cursed, pitied, yet so often missed if it’s broken during a tip-over or fall. And staying in the same vein, if for some reason your only household toilet broke, well then we all know how that feels.įor me, the same can be said for the lowly motorcycle mirror.
