I use to have the kind that sticks on your helmet and I don't recommend those. They suck b/c the mirror is so small, you can barely see anything coming from the rear. Thanks for the links.

I bought a end cap mirror on ebay since people said they were good. The one I got I paid like five bucks for just to see if it would work. I learned that the one that goes up and down but hangs off the end gets in the way. Now I want one that sticks out straight from the bar. I can use the one I got on an electro and get a good one for the Sissy.

I have the seventies style one with the reflector about the size of a nickel on the top. I mounted them on innertube rubber to cut down on vibration. They have a strap.
