Tarmac Raptor Mirror Review (Svartpilen 401)

I take a look at the Tarmac Raptor mirrors which offer an aggressively styled, more affordable mirror option here in Australia, with the benefit of being sold at some local vendors like MCAS here in Sydney.

That means you can check them out in person and buying them on the day. No looking at online listings, wondering if they'll turn up looking like they cost 10c to make, or waiting months for arrival. Check them out in store, pick up a set, pay and go home and fit them.

I think there's room for improvement with this option, in that vibrations could be reduced, although a single-cylinder is probably going to be one of the worst applications in this regard. However for the price, no regrets, I've had a few comments that they look great, and they do the job.

The Svartpilen 401 does have one mirror mount running reverse thread for reference. Also on my Svartpilen 401 there's threaded inserts in the 'bar ends which make many bar end mirrors which come with an expanding mounting grommet hard to fit.
