Need a mirror: Special Circumstances
I need a mirror that will work on Moustache bars.
I can't use glasses or helmet mounted mirrors because my left eye is legally blind and there is no way to mount them for me to see safely. So i need to stick to bar mounted mirrors where there is much more room between my eyes and the mirror which allows me to use my right eye.
I can't use the bar end mounted mirrors because I have bar-end shifters. So anything that will work that will mount to the bars?

I ride to clear my mind
I have a Blackburn. It attaches with velcro and is removable.

If you like a helmet or glasses mirror you can put in on your right side. I run a double helmet mirror (two take-a-look mirrors: one of the left, one on the right), I use the right mirror a lot. It might be hard to get use to at first, looking right to look left, but I like it.
Good Luck,

Hey DynoD500_SR20-d what is the Sony thing?
