Convex Spots

dogdoc · 02-27-2008, 02:40 PM

I added some 1 5/8 inch adjustable spots mirrors on my stock mirrors. You can rotate them 360 degrees to your desire. Really helps open up that blindspot. Anybody else add these? Found them at Advanced Auto parts. About $2 each.

good info doc. I've been wondering where I could pick up those tiny ones.

I added the smaller one inch fixed lens type. Got them from The local Cyclegear Store.

The are available on the net. Under five bucks

I have them on all our vehicles and going to put them on the bike. can't live without them.

dogdoc · 02-27-2008, 06:08 PM

i agree fish, I have had them on all my vehicles since i have been driving, and thats longer than most of these kids have been alive.

Yep, me too. They really help.

I just put them on today. the other mirrors are fixed but the adjustable ones are great indeed. I'm going to replace the fixed ones on the vehicles.

These aren't your little typical bubble mirrors?

Confused myself. Not fixed position ones?

The ones I found are like the ( bubble ) mirrors but you can press on any part of the outside edge of the mirror and it turns slightly. The mirror itsself sets in a little cup, its the cup that sticks on your regular mirror. Am I right Doc? Hell if the wife was home I have her post a pic of them. Doc did you put them on the side closest to the bike or outside? I put them on the outside I should have did the inside because of the shap of the reg mirror.

yes they are convex spots but can rotate them 360 degrees, also yes I mounted them on the outer lower corner to get then widest angle view. they work great too.

blowndodge · 03-11-2008, 02:33 PM

gotta a pic of what they would look like? I can only envision the static tape mounted kind and not any that rotate?

fish · 03-11-2008, 02:54 PM

I'll try to get the wife to to take a picture of them, then I'll post it.

dogdoc · 03-12-2008, 04:30 PM

One side is thin(1/4 inch) and one side is thick(1/2 inch), can rotate them to be able to see 1 1/2 lanes behind you. Going down a 3 laner I can see all 3 lanes behind by looking at my 2 reg and 2 spots.

Shoot, that would be cool to have rearward vision that wide! Real cool... Is there a brand name? or just the House name of Advanced Auto Parts on the label??
