I believe them to be VERY loud and the peripheral view is " suposed " to be shite - on the flip side they do look the bollox but only on a " fighter " like yours buddy as , on a sports bike they look a bit " try hard "  [whistle]

Hasnt Horse just got one? Maybe ask him what he thinks.

I know they were ilegal on a bike a while back due to the narrow field of vision but they have released new versions since that have an extended view.
