    Default Wide Angle Mirror - Looking for suggestions

    As a older Spyder RT rider, I have a problem turning my head far enough to see those #$%^& drivers, who like to drive in my blind spots.

    I have seen some nice clip on wide angle mirrors from CHina, but boy $230 bucks is ridiculous.

    I have been looking for an alternative, but everything to me looks bad. I have thought about a pair of Lemonsters Spyder Cuffs, but then I up over a couple of hundred again.

    Anybody found a good, less expensive alternative?

    I've put a couple of those small adjustable stick on mirrors on my RS mirrors that help you to see in your blind spot.

    Default Bar end mirrors

    Do a search for mirrors. On 03/02/16 Kngfsh27 posted how he used J&P cycle part 7600346 mirrors and modified
    them to fit his 14RT. Good luck Bob. I also thought I saw a post where someone used a clamp on bicycle mirror.
    At least it worked for little money.

    Try a boat or Marine dealer, they are everywhere almost, they have Wide angle mirrors that can either clip on or attach with double sided tape for water skiing, general less than $30.

    The pair will set you back $15 plus shipping.
