Last spring while waiting to pass a car on my way home from work a Harley came up behind me. When I passed he came with me, cut behind me and passed me on the right in my lane. Never saw him but I knew what he was doing cause of his loud pipes. The LT's mirrors always bothered me because they are so far out of your line of sight so I finally coughed up the $$$ for these:

I know that they break up the clean lines of the windscreen but the view behind you is amazing. You can see directly behind you and almost out in front of the bike. Shocked

They are an optically pure fish eye times 10.

Sorry about the sticker, Duck, but it is under the screen not on it. Laughing

I have had these on both of my bikes for a few years now. I have found that they work extremely well to cover your blind spot on right and left rear. Very handy for lane changes, and watching yourself in heavy traffic. Which is what they are designed for. I still do head checks though.

However, if the vehicle is too far back it doesn't show up except as a spec and can be lost in the clutter, then as it closes with you it zooms in very fast filling the view. I wish they were a bit less convex.

I still like them, using them within those limitations.

I haven't seen anything as smooth looking in the U.K. The only blind spot mirrors we can get over here are not suitable for attachment to he screen.
So the next question is, where can I get some from? can they be ordered online? will they ship overseas?

So many questions so little time.
