I don't think so. It annoys me to try to use the neck rest on there because of vibration.

They are. And on long rides I don't have this urge to stop just so I can walk around.

Yea, I'm wondering if the mirror isn't too far from my eye.. another reason I need to mount the mirror directly on the helmet and not the visor. Or trying to stabilize the arm somehow.. I have a feeling that the arm of the mirror is flexing on the bumps, but I don't know how to verify this.
