ABSTRACT:
A motorcycle mirror mounting system that controls the position of the mirrors of a motorcycle during tilting and/or turning of the motorcycle. A tilt sensor detects the degree and direction of tilting of the motorcycle frame and provides data representative thereof to a central controller. In accordance with its adjustment determinations, the controller acts through one or more servo control circuits to continuously adjust the positions of the mirrors to maintain the mirrors in positions providing substantially the same view to the rear as during straight driving. Thus, an image that would normally appear near the center of a mirror during straight riding, and which would appear to move either to the left or right of, and toward either the upper or lower boundaries of, the mirror during tilting of the motorcycle, is maintained substantially at the center of the mirror. If the mirrors are mounted on the motorcycle handlebars, then a turn sensor senses the degree and direction of turning of the mirrors relative to the motorcycle frame and provides data representative thereof to the central controller which acts through the servo control circuits to adjust the mirror positions for the turning as well as the tilting.
