• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Riderscan Blind Spot Mirror

That's a bit pricy as I bought mine off Ebay for $40 plus $13 in shipping from the UK. I removed my center camera to install with Ram ball. It seems to work really great while sitting on bike in my garage. ( Raining today) I will get a pic posted later today. I think I will like this a lot as I don't have head movement like an Owl does.
 
I have one and found it useless. All I see is myself in the mirror. Could not find an adjustment that would work.
 
I just bought the Tricled Wide-Vu mirrors. Based on reviews here they're supposed to be fantastic. Should be getting them tomorrow.

Has anyone tried/used/installed one of these? Ram mountable? are they any good? subjective I know, just looking for input.

I like just the round "self stick" mirrors you can buy almost anywhere. They come in various sizes. The ones I like are small enough not to take away from your stock mirrors, and "adjustable" so you can see farther to the sides or closer, depending on what you like. Just MHO.

:agree: And I have them already and they really work great. I can trace a car on either side of me in the mirror all the way to the point where I can see them in the corner of my eye! Great product.
 
I had blind spot mirrors for a while too on my stock mirrors (the adhesive kind for $3 a pair. They worked very well. Then we picked up a set of the wide view mirrors from TRicLed at Spyderfest. LOVE EM......wouldn't go back to stock. A pair cost $80 installed. The install is simply sticking them to the stock mirrors. Pricey for a couple pieces of glass, but they are nice
 
Riderscan blind spot mirror

I installed one of these nearly a year ago because I found drivers were drifting in to look at the Can Am and sometimes getting to close to fast even to keep up with in heavy traffic, I like it but mounted it to the top of the dash with the sticky feet not to the wind shield.

The TricLED Wide-Vu mirrors helped me see what was behind me really good. That is until it falls off after about four months, so I went back to stock.

When mine started to come loose, I cut a few squares of 3M tape and filled in some of the recessed openings on the back of the mirror. This brought up more contact surface area and they haven't moved yet. There is very little surface area with just the raised ridges alone.

The pictures I posted were actually the replacement set that I was sent when the first set fell off. Problem was when the second set fell off while stored at my brothers house (when I moved from CA to MO) he did not know what it was, and dragged it out with his foot scratching one up. I have the original set in a box somewhere in the garage, and was thinking of filling in the squares, and replacing the 3M tape too. To be honest for the price we should not have to correct their design flaw's, but I guess it is what it is.

They also are flat on the back and the stock mirror is curved and they don't sit flush. I cut 2" of 3m tape from center and put on inbd side to make it sit better on stock mirror. Be sure to stick the otbd sides first otherwise you will run out of mirror adjustment. I'm actually starting to like them better now. And after trying my Riderscan on a ride today I honestly have to say the Tricleds do the same thing. So I might just be selling my Riderscan.

Thank you for the suggestion, as I did plan to fill in the squares to put them back on. I really do like them, especially when pulling my trailer. Just so I am clear "otbd" is outbound, or outside from the Spyder. , With "inbd" being inbound, or the inside from the Spyder.
