"Take A Look" Bike Peddler Mirror Does anyone know if you can only wear these mirrors on one side? It looks like they are made just to go on the left.

If you live in a country where traffic travels on the left - as I do in Australia, it will necessitate positioning the mirror on the right side. As others have mentioned, this is perfectly feasible. I attach it to my glasses and believe this is the best mounting position - more stable than a helmet. A superb product - one of the best investments in safety that could be made - 5 stars.

This mirror is completely reversible. At least the compact model is - can someone check the "original" to see if the pivot hole in the mirror is drilled all the way through? At any rate, on the compact model, gently work the mirror off the stainless pivot rod, flip the mirror and reinsert the pivot rod on the opposite side of the mirror. If you find the mount also needs to be reversed, one gentle bend at the middle prong, and, voila! You're holding, pardon the expression, a mirror image of the original mirror, perfectly suitable for right-side mounting.

The three rubber-covered posts are indeed curved for left-side mounting. But they can be bent to curve the other way. I have just done so, and the mirror is now solidly adhered to the right side of my riding glasses.

There is only one mirror. A majority of ATV's I've seen only have one mirror, which is usually on the left side. A second mirror would probably be redundant on an ATV. This mirror is very well made, easily adjustable, and provides a wide field of view. Ours is mounted on my wife's Polaris ACE and she really likes how it works. I hope this feedback helps.

There are two kinds of mirrors. This one fits into mountain bikes, hybrid bikes and comfort bikes where the handlebars are not curved. There is usually a plug that can be pryed out of the ends of the handlebars which will accomodate the mirror. If the handlebars are curved you need to get the other type.

Mirrycle Road makes two kinds of mirrors...one that fits atop handle bars and one that fits in the bar ends. I have a comfort bike and bought these by mistake. Your bike looks like the racing type and these should fit your bike, but I can't give you a definite answer.

Good question, I thought the same thing when I put my tires on with the arrow pointing backwards? Would help with the aging process I reckon? Only suggestion I would make is to purchase a cyclist rear view mirror and clip it onto your helmet or glasses so you can see where you are going?Good luck!

An off-topic comment that might be helpful: I could not see the passenger side mirror at all when my doors are on, so I left the passenger side on my door. With my doors on I have both side mirrors, and when they're off I have only the driver side mirror. Since I have doors on the majority of the time, this made sense and works for me. Nobody has ever notice (or at least commented on) the fact that the mirrors are asymmetrical.

What car/mirror are you using? If there's enough space, yes you can. You would have the mirrors reversed, though, to compensate for the mirrors being on the lower part of the mirror. Go to a local Campers World and try-out a set on your rig before you order.

They are adjustable and mount to either side of the bike depending on how you want the mirrors to sit. They do vibrate a little more than I'd hoped they would, but otherwise they're great.

I noticed when I first got it too, but then saw that the installation instructions say "Please note that there is a protective cover/film on the mirrors surface so that it does not get scratched during shipping and handling. Ensure that this protective film cover is removed prior to use and cycling." The film isn't immediately obvious, but if you scratch with a fingernail at the edge, I suspect you'll find it (if you haven't removed it already).

the wide has a larger viewing area but blends well with the bike and is not to noticeable. Even though it is called wide it is not very big so I'd advise the wide over the narrow to have the larger viewing area you'll be glad you did. not sure but assume the wide and the narrow have the same mounting the mirror size is different...Get the wide! This is a very good product that installs easily, works well and doesn't detract from the looks of the bike. I will do no more research for mirrors I will always have a wide bike eye on my bike.

This is an issue for me too. Having had the mirror for quite a while now, I have gotten used to positioning it so that if I turn my head slightly to the left (I have the mirror positioned on the left of my helmet), I can see past my shoulder. My problem now is that the adhesive is starting to wear off.

Emily, I urge you to please invest in another mirror . It had arrived cracked,and I was alright with that because it was in the corner. Then the whole mirror stand started getting loose and the mirror section began spinning and would not stay in place. I asked my husband to try tighten it, but he couldn't find any adjustment apparatus. Long story short....I'm looking for a new mirror. I sincerely wish I could've answered your question..

You have to order one for each side. By the way, these mirrors provide much better vision than the fender mounts.

You will see a reflection, but not as clearly as if the mirrored front were flat. I probably wouldn't do a mirrored piece if the toilet is directly opposite, though, unless the mirror were the mottled, antique-y type.

Not a 100% sure but I do know that you want to make sure that you do not have power folding mirrors. I tried mine on and I like the way they look. Can't go wrong for $40 bucks. Hope this helps!

They don't go one on each side like you're thinking. They both go on either the right side or the left side. You can have them facing inside the rack or facing outside the rack. The width is perfect for me.
