I am ecstatic with the look of my shiny chrome bullet POWERFOLDS.

Many many thanks Andrew and thanks for letting me take your black beast for a spin.

Wow so pleased. :lol:

Hi Parker,
have you noticed any limitations of the bullet mirrors compared to the later skull cap type?
I ask because I spoke to someone at the Peterborough meet who said (or perhaps I inferred) that they couldn't angle down far enough to see the white lines at the side of parking spaces.
With my later type mirrors I can see down as far as where the back wheel touches the ground which I find sufficient for parking.

Regards,
Kearton

i find no such limitations with the bullet style mirrors..

superior in every way opposed to skull caps.

I've not noticed a problem I guess it's all down to seating position too. I'll check tomorrow and report back.

Got to say though chrome bullets look amazing against skull caps. Even a few noticed in work they were different.

EDIT: There is no issues with the tilt and turn mechanism, they certainly point down to the road so you can see the curbside as you reverse.

I love my Bullet Powerfolds
