Mirrors

[Bigen]

My wife and I just bought a rt limt. So far I love it. I have been a Harley Davidson rider for years but I am very happy with our new spider. The only thing is that we pull a bunk house with it and I can't see behind me. Is there anyone that could give me an idea on how I could put something on the spider so I can see cars behind me. I would be very thankful for the help.

Do a search for mirror extensions. I recall a discussion a while back.

Hi Bigen, we sell Wide Vu mirror for RT, this is a stick on convex mirror, just right on top of your OEM mirrors.
the mirror will eliminate blind spots, wider angle by 30%. I'm including images below (2) to show comparison of angle view between OEM and Wide Vu.
A link to product in our website also included.
Let me know if you have any questions

I bought these on Amazon...

... and screwed them on the ends of the handlebar grips because I pull a bunkhouse as well...
... and I added the TricLED Wide-vue mirrors on the standard mirrors...

Now I am thinking about the rear-view cam... I really want to see the cages that are around me...

I would recommend the wide-vu from tricled. I bought a pair and installed them on my '16 RT-S and really like them. Great product from a great site sponsor. Dale

I think the TricLED mirrors are in my future.
Great idea.

Is that because the Bunkhouse is too wide or too high. In either case I'm not sure the Wide-Vu mirrors will help. When I pull my tent-on-a-trailer it's high enough that my view directly behind is pretty much totally blocked. I've tried a couple of different mirror setups without much luck. One problem is vibration. Any mirror on the end of a stem wants to vibrate a lot, so much so the image is not clear at all. I've concluded the best solution to see directly behind if the stock mirror sight line is blocked would be a rear view camera. If I take another long trip with my tent trailer I plan to seriously look at doing that.

The windshield is a good place to mount a mirror, but it vibrates a lot. I had mine fastened to the dash, but at the end of a 6" stem it vibrated a lot. On the end of the handlebars might work, but if your trailer is wide you still won't be able to see directly behind. But put them on the end of a 6" or 8" long stem they'll vibrate.

I would seriously explore the rear view camera approach.
