    I like it, a great idea that, provided you can find a place to mount is a definite ++.


    I hope the guy gets rich before being ripped off and copied.

    That looks good...only question I have is would the mirror reflect the sun back into your face during daylight and what about car headlamp reflection at night?

    or an old chrome helmet visor I'm betting that's where he came up with the idea one day set his helmet on the gas tank

    Yes, I read that on the FAQ...and looking at the mirror, there is a much steeper curve at the top.....but it is still a mirror...I'm thinking that if it is positioned where you can "see" it without too much movement of the head - peripheral vision - it should work well.......on to the list it goes....

    A section of chrome fender from a smaller bike could work too. But I'd rather buy one from the inventor so he benefits from his idea. And a fine idea it is!

    To quote Will Smith - "I've GOT to get me one of these!!"

    That is a GREAT idea! And I'm pretty sure that his final product has some kind of coating to help cut the glare - like those screen coatings on some computer monitors, ya know...

    That's useful. I stuck two blind spot small mirrors top side on my big ones and they work really good. I can tell if there is anything in my blind spot-of course they are small so I can't read front plates with em but they do show anything present. Best $4 spent.
