I know the mirrors come off easily, but I dont know where the wires are connected deep down. I took the mirrors off when I installed the windscreen. It really is no big deal leaving them on though. At least for my first time out.

True, but as you start to advance to a more aggressive body position and your head placement gets further forward and down towards the wind screen those mirrors might inhibit your line of sight.

NO I was just merely pointing out they come off easily and its one less thing to break off. Nothing more.
Schwantz instructors use them to watch pupils.

Why is that? I'm sure we both know the skill levels of instructors and students span greatly.
