| | rear view mirrors would like a little input here. i believe a rear view mirror is very important on our bikes but still trying to find a good one. the one i have now straps on the grip with Velcro and of course spins and i am not real happy with it. i have seen ones that you clamp to the handle bars and ones that go into the bars like a plug. what is the best way to go? |

| | Re: rear view mirrors Have you looked at motorcycle mirrors? They come in hundreds of styles and can handle vibrations like no other. Here is a link to a motorcycle aftermarket parts warehouse superstor thingamajigger... http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~partsort

| | Re: rear view mirrors Here's the back side of my mirror its suppost to be unbreakable the mirror is but the housing ain't and for the right side which I'm using on the left cause I like it low. I got 2 of them from fleabay cheap I relly like them and as you can see easy to mount. Look close and you can see the superglue repair.  |

| | Re: rear view mirrors I was in Wal mart the other day and noticed they sell rear view mirrors for bikes (Bell brand)
It looked like they were a strap on design (velcro).
Looked to be a wide angle mirror but kinda small....might be hard to see with all the vibrations?

| | Re: rear view mirrors Hi just so you-all know, Whizzer uses small long-neck motorcycle mirrors, which thread into the control sets but could easily use a strap around the bars.
Small sized motorcycle mirrors, or moped mirrors will work nicely.
I also have a bicycle thing that clips on eyeglasses, kinda cool, kinda wierd.

| I got reamed... I paid 14 bucks for the same thing.
Plastic bar end mount with reflective mylar instead of glass. Oh well. At least I can vaguely see through it. :-)~ | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
