Default Mirrors for door-less driving

I would like to get some aftermarket mirrors to use when I take my doors off. I thought about getting the mirror relocation brackets, but I'm just not feeling it. What are some good aftermarket mirrors that can easily be installed/removed for door-less driving?

I just got the RR round model. I really like them. Love the look of the small round mirrors compared to the bulky squares. However, even with fully tightening them down, at 70mph and a headwind comes around, they will push inwards, and you have to retighten them the next time you stop.

There is a nice write up in write up section that shows you how to make your own, I followed the steps and bought everything in needed at the hardware store and auto zone. They came out great. I spent about $20.

I have Olympics side mirrors. I like them. They just slide down into the door bracket and you just tighten a nut and you are good to go!

I run Harley mirrors as well. Very simple and easy. Drop them in the door hinge and tighten a nut. Don't have any problem with them moving and you can pretty much get any design and shape you like.

Picked up a little mirror at O'Reillys (?sp) for like 7 bucks and a screw and nut that fits my hinge for 10 cents from the hardware store next door and it works perfect for me when the doors are off. I only run with a drivers side mirror when the doors are off and am thinking this one wouldnt work out as set up on the passenger side as the dash would block it. Love having the doors off, may winter never come again...

Could you put it in the lower hinge bracket?
