Anyone use Blind Spot Mirrors ?

Re: Blindspots
Yes I have them on my 02 RK, and on my 09 SG. I had them on my fairing mirrors and when I switched out bars I put one on my left side mirror. I bought them at WalMart, I took off the tape that came on them and used a better/bigger piece of 3M tape. They look good and I have a warm and fuzzy knowing what's coming up behind me.

I got the .79 cent ones from the local otto parts. The black plastic ring around them takes too much room and looks dorky, so after ruining one of them by prying the mirror part out, I got another and learned to either slowly pry them off or just get them started with a razor and leave overnight: it will be loose by morning.
A couple pieces of double sided tape and they haven't come off yet; even with a power washer.
I think they should be on every bike; HUGE safety factor!
edit: prying the mirror out quickly makes the reflective stuff rip off the back.

One of the things taught to truckers is to stop looking back and use the damn spot mirrors. If my wife would ever listen and start using mirrors period, she'd quit backing into things!

They have several big pluses over the HD fairing mirrors.
1) they stick out a bit further
2) they're billet vs plastic
3) they're fully adjustable vs. impossible to tighten up (at the swivel)
4) they come with integrated LED turnsignals and you don't have to drill an additional hole for the wires unlike the chrome covers with turn signals for the HD ones, cause the wires run inside the stem.
