This is the mirror I use when I use one. It's much better than the TAL mirror.

It is a knock off of the Chuck Harris mirror but improved. It's a great mirror. Here's the story behind it.

I tried and tried to get a hold of a Chuck Harris mirror and couldn't so gave up and bought this one. That said, I like how it is more out of your field of view than a TAL mirror and the shape is much better too. So, even though it's Fredly, I use it. I have to ride on a highway (has 10' shoulders) but I have to be very careful for a left turn I have to make at an intersection that has had numerous fatalities. This mirror really helps with the situational awareness in a BIG way.

I actually have an old jujitsu injury that means I can't turn my head to the left without pain. Therefore, I have the Take a Look mirror mounted to my helmet with a couple zipties.
