Any suggestions for Blind spot mirrors?

[cwhowardjr17]

Hello all

I have a 21 Spyder RT and looking for something i can use for blind spot mirrors. I bought the Big Eye Mirrors from Lamonster and the arms blocked the factory mirrors. I want to see the factory mirrors as well as the mirrors for the blind spots. I've looked into the mirrors from saeng but cant buy them from their site. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help.

I added the wide view mirrors from slingmods. I tried adding handlebar mounted mirrors but they shook too much.

Thanks, I'll look into it

I have used these for years and love ‘em. They swivel independently of the main mirrors.

Thank you ThreeWheels

I use the stick-on pairs from Walmart and place them in the bottom inside portion of the main mirror. That is an area where you typically see only a portion of your arm and body anyway. Those combined with the main mirror, and your peripheral vision give you a 360° view of the world around you without ever turning your head (although I do still check over my shoulders every time I need to turn or change lanes). They are about $6/pair in most automotive departments or stores.

After experimenting withing a couple of blindspot mirrors here's what I found that gives me what I wanted in a mirror. It's elongated and fits in the corner of my OEM mirror that normally only showed me my saddle bags. It doesn't block any of the usable view in my OEM mirror. It gives me more of a side view than the normal round "fisheye" mirror which really showed me nothing more than my OEM did. I found these at Nappa.

That's prolly what I'm gonna do

I use the rectangle ones and they are about 2” wide x 1-1/4” high and way bigger than any other suggested mirror I’ve seen.

My wife and I use the same as ThreeWheels. We got them at Wal-Mart, they work good for us.

I hesitate to try the stick-on little blind spot mirrors because of how hard they are to get off without damaging the OEM mirror. But as I get older its a bit harder to turn my head far enough to really look for a vehicle in my blind spots so maybe I need to at least give this a try.

You shouldn't worry about that; most of the time they'll come off without leaving any mark at all, and the rest of the time what little mark they may leave is basically just a tiny bit of glue residue that's pretty easy to get off anyway! So I reckon you're stressing over something that's simply a non-event! :lecturef_smilie:


I've NEVER had any difficulties removing them myself, & I've removed a fair few of them at the request of people who don't think they wanted them on their 'new to them' bike &/or car; usually only to replace them with new blind spot mirrors just a short time later, when they've discovered thru their lack how useful they actually were!! :rolleyes:

Most of these little mirrors are only held on by a small section of double-sided tape, and even the most 'stuck on' blind-spot mirror will generally come off with a little bit of help from either heat or cold, maybe a sharp blade, and juuust a little bit of effort; but seriously, once they go on & you work out how useful they are, you'll feel like you're driving with blinkers on if you ever drive without them again! IF! :p So you really should stop sweating over the small stuff and do yourself a favour - Fit the Damn Blind-Spot Mirrors!! :ohyea: After all, getting a little bit of sticky residue off your OEM Mirror at some future time is faaarr less of a worry than being hit by that turkey who blindsided you & totalled you'n your Spyder just cos you couldn't see them coming in your blind spot until it was too late!! :yikes:

Personally, I prefer the round mirrors with a base that sticks to your OEM Mirror and a convex mirror mounted on a pivot an angle so that you can spin/swivel it around to change your view as necessary - most of the time mine are set to show me those 'blind spots' behind me that aren't readily covered by the OEM Mirrors no matter how carefully I adjust them; but then if necessary, I can dial them around to show me the ground immediately in front of/alongside my rear tire so I can carefully pick my way thru the sharp debris on the road; or spin them around so that I can keep an eye on that helicopter that's been sorta tracking me from up high & behind for a while :opps: Even though my blind-spot mirrors spend the bulk of their time covering my blind-spots, it's really 'extra handy' to be able to dial them around & adjust the wide-angle view as & when necessary &/or desired. :thumbup:

Simple 2 inch stick-on blind spot mirrors work for me. Available at any auto parts store.

Here is what I have done for blind spot mirrors. I like the look of these and they do a good job of showing the blind spots on the sides. I saw these on another Spyder on YouTube and found these on Amazon. They were fairly cheap and an easy install .

I got the wide vue mirrors as stated above. A couple of days ago I noticed a black spot on one of them. Turns out, the mirror must have had condensation, or something penetrate it because the silver stuff is peeling off and it can't be fixed. It has to be replaced. They only lasted 2 years. I don't think I'm buying another set. I'll go with something else. Too bad too because I like those mirrors.

This is by far the very best.... They are in transition right now changing the mirrors some for the better
check back with them in July.
