My Bandit has mirrors mounted on the bars. I notice the new Bandit has them on the fairing. Ive puzzled over it but cant decide which is better - I guess the fairing mirrors wont mean your inside mirror is full of elbow when steering?
Your thoughts?

wrong they are still full of arms, but to be fair the bandits are good compared to some…on the fairing anyway…I find on my old bikes the handlebar mirrors are great, better than the fairing types mostly…if adjusted correctly anyway…
No, not pink. Definitely not pink. More of a… subtle fuschia 
I had fairing-mounted mirrors which I er… misplaced when I parked in someone’s garden. I then got some aftermarket Motrax indy mirrors which mount on the handlebars. Once you get used to them, they’re ok, but I’m going back to fairing-mounted mirrors because I don’t like the fact that you don’t have a point of reference which doesn’t change. With bar-mounted ones, they move when you move the bars. So if you want to get a glimpse of what’s directly behind you, you can’t do it without shoulder-checking which is sometimes more dangerous than not.
Am I making any sense to anyone but me? 
you’re looking in your mirrors when you’re steering??
It’s not fuschia or any other pink related etc colour ffs
Redster gotta ask why you need mirrors when cornering anyway?
Good point. Sh1te thinking about it I sometimes take a half-glance. Why do I do that? Must stop :o
LOOK WHERE YOUR GOING FOOL!
I guess the only excuse to do that is when aproching lights on a bend and checking that the cage behind you aint to close before you anchor on? *ducks
Biggus, my Bandit does look a bit like the bas7ard offspring of your bike. Somehow yours looks slightly more reliable than mine (although mine is perhaps more of a ‘manly’ red 
)
Cheers

Salmon perhaps?
Such a shame.
Didn’t they tell you that yellow ones were the fastest?
Get that fairing off now!
On that day Red was definitely the fastest colour
Aye… might well become a VTR streetfighter at some point, need to crash it first like…
The more I look at Buggus’ bike the more I realise that mine is rubbish
It must be cr@p as the firestorm cost me 600 notes and is a total shed as anyone who’s seen it will testify! lol
