Another was our first employee, and even today, all three of us that work here ride adventure bikes and love travel. One inmate helped me design the original mold, and another one did the machine work (and still does all of our mold services). It works pretty well- it solved a problem I had, and I hope it solves a problem you have.īeyond that, we are a true by-inmates-for-inmates story.

I thought the mirror needed a ball joint instead of a hinge, since the forces in a crash are never straight in, and that led me to the idea of using RAM for the base, so that it could fold and also move when it needed to. My goal was to protect the bike (and myself), and be able to tell a Crown Victoria with a lightbar from a Camry with a ski rack. One night I had an otherwise minor crash and the OEM mirrors broke both master cylinders on my KTM 950, and I thought “there has to be a better way”. Tell us about Doubletake Mirrors, what were your humble beginnings?ĭoubletake Mirrors was born when my passion for riding met my frustration with bad mirrors. Where did this ingenious design come from? Ned Suesse, aka inmate and Dakar racer Neduro That is a testament to great design, product performance, and stellar customer service Personally speaking, every single country I have ever visited I have always seen one or more motorcycles with DoubleTake Mirrors.
