(My "commuter" bike will not have bar-end shifters as does my LHT.)

Looking for something reasonable durable, and vibration free. Obviously, too, it has to see around my bulk . I was intrigued by a pic on the commuter bike pic thread, owned by FreddyV (Freddy, Hope you don't mind that I copied your pic.) - looks like a good solution.

What works good for you guys? Any suggestions?
Handlebar mount and vibration free can't really be used in the same sentence. If you want vibration free, stick with the glasses mount or get a helmet mount. Both offer a flexibility that handlebar mount mirrors can't offer. You can turn your head to sweep behind you. With a handlebar mount you are more limited.

That said, the Mirriycle aren't too bad for a handlebar mounted mirror.
