    I just did that search and came up with lots of clamp on mirrors for 7/8 bars but nothing for windshields. With all the RT s out there with riders staring at their elbows ( I can't be the only one can I?) there should be a good market for this accessory. Lamonster,Bajaron, Dave, somebody? If I could find them I would sell them. Anybody know this guy?

    i wouldn't mind having a better view than the stock mirrors give, but the Saeng stuff is WAY out of my pay grade.

    When I was at Spyderfest someone had a 180 mirror above the dash, that looked like they could see everything. I haven't found what he had, but I'm sure that they are somewhere.


    One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

    Pretty sure what you saw was "RiderScan" and 180 degree mirror.

    I dunno about using all of this... "stuff", to do what we all should be doing:
    Using our necks, and looking around!
    When you come to rely on technology (or machines), you can often end up learning how they can fail...

    If neck problems make it impossible to swivel and look: I can understand that.

    Default Cracks me up!

    I have to say.... It cracks me up!

    RT guys spend $20K plus on your ride but when it comes to spending $100 all of a sudden it's "too much".

    Talk about a oxymoron!

    We have stick-ons that pivot that might work. And would stick on the windshield.

    Default New mirrors

    Several people were looking into adding mirrors to their Spyders to help them see what is around them. While I do think the best way is to look look over your shoulder, sometimes it is just nice to have an extra pair of mirrors to help out. While I do agree that for what we pay for our machines we should not be complaining about a hundred dollars. The problem is when the price is at a point where we feel like we are being robbed. That being said, I decided to do some experimenting. These are still a work in progress. I can say that so far I have under $45 in the mirrors and a trip to the hardware store. I have about an hour doing some modifying. Will have more pics when I am wrapped up.

    I like the bar end mirror idea.When you get it the way you want it let us know what you used.
