Take them both off and go to the track!

... But i'm pretty sure it's a defect, else we wouldn't have any mirrors at all as they just make bikes look ugly!

From memory, I think you can get away with a right only - not sure about a left only. No mirrors is illegal, dangerous and ocassionaly done anyway :shock:

i have had one on the 6 for ages, you technically have to have as many mirrors as was on the vehicle when it left the factory... my dads old beemer is fully legal with a right mirror only, but only cos thats how it came out of the showroom...

One mirror is fine

Unless its a pig-spotter on Kishy's chicken-strip infested shitbox.

In which case it most definitely is *not* fine !
