Blindspot Mirror... help me out guys

[srt8-in-largo]

I saw a bike the other day with Saeng mirrors and it made me rethink my Riderscan and believe something better is out there. As much as I love the Riderscan, there are two things that bug me:

1) checking blindspot is now a distinct two step process... check the mirror, look back at the road, check the blindspot.

2) the GPS on my RAM mount blocks the view


There's no way in hell I'm gonna pay for Saeng mirrors; $250! What are you guys using??

It kinda is huh! Can you believe the price they're asking for those?

What caught my attention is that they're nice and bigger than the small stick on mirrors and they don't consume real estate on the OEM mirrors. And they can be adjusted to however you want.

Blindspot mirrors are pretty important to me on a bike, essential, actually. I did quite a lot of hunting tonight and failed to find anything with the right blend of form that I like and function that I want.

This is a project in the making. Watch this spot for a custom set of mirrors coming...

I just use the $3.50 round convex rotatable mirror that attaches to the side mirror via double sided tape. It can be adjusted to give you 180 degree rear view from where your peripheral vision runs out. I used these on my bm before the F6B and would not be without them.

I bought a set like these from cycle gear I think they were on sale for $7. I searched and came up with this SKU : web1004799, they're down to $6 now. I put them on my old NC700X. Then when I got the 6 I got a set that has a different shape from a non-sponsored site.
