It would loosen up and vibrate. Even when it was still the image seem distorted.
Mirrcycle is solid mount and clear. A bit pricy at $15 or so but.... |

| | Re: rear view mirrors Get the bar end mirror with a wide angle view they work great. I have a round chrome mirror with a chrome shaft that mounts to the handle bars that I paid $8 for and its sitting in my tool box as a spare because Im too cheap to throw it away. No matter what you did to this POS it wouldnt stay in place plus the adjustment sucked on it and no wide angle feature so it was difficult to see your blindspot. |

Big question is should you have left and right or just left. My lack of head turning ability really calls for 2 mirrors.
On my cruiser I built a mirror from a cheap Bell mirror, a piece of aluminum tubing and a reflector bracket, all for around $10. I want to find a slightly bigger mirror but haven't found one, I may have to cut one. Custom mirror on my cruiser.

I say "There's no style in being dead or in the hospital for a month."
