Have you seen this - RiderScan Rear View Mirror Takes on Blind Spots ?

I too use little round ones on my R3 - but I saw this the other day and I am pondering.

Now that looks interesting. Thanks for posting

Thanks, IK9, but I've been turning my head for the 51 years I've been riding so there's no need to develop the habit. On the other hand, at 70 years, my neck is a bit stiff so looking almost straight back is more difficult that it was previously. As for louder pipes: That's not for me. I like the fact that the R3T is quiet. My day of liking loud motorcycles are long over - including HD choppers, etc. In fact, when I hear someone's bike with very loud pipes, I automatically assume they have a size problem where it counts, if you know what I mean. Besides, I'm interested in seeing what's behind me and loud pipes can really only have an advantage with vehicles in front of me or when I'm passing through their blind spots.

Zone; I was just being a little of a smartas. Sorry if my comment rubbed you the wrong way. I have a lot less experience ridding than you do and like the quiet Valkyrie as much or perhaps more than the Rocket just because it is quiet.

I have posted before about the same thing. I would like a set of "blindspot" warning flags on my MC mirrors like what I have in my cars. I would like the flags on my mirrors to be larger. For some reason people like to ride side by side or on someone's blind sport. It's beyond me why avoiding these positions is not part of auto safety instruction. Most people don't even know what the blind spot it.

The idea of the convex 180 degree mirror looks good. I would try one.

You may need to hurry - the mfr website is dead. We need the Google Master @Ishrub

Aha - did you know it's a Scottish Gadget?.

Not all Scottish gadgets are great, sure the phone and tv are but if you are able turning your head is always the best.

It may be sacrilege, but I think some HD mirrors have a section which is angled differently so that you can see the blind spot. The question is, if they can be made to fit, are you humble enough to put them on?

Ya but those are specific for HD push mode !!!

We had a mirror like that on the ski boat so the driver could keep an eye on the skier.

And then you could always purchase one of those helmets with rear view technology...

These Triumph ovals were an improvement over the original rounds. Very clear images.
