You can buy them for $2.50 at an auto parts store. They're the same convex mirror that you can stick on your regular mirror to improve blind spot visibility. I tried it, wouldn't recommend it as a permanent solution but for 3$ it's ok while you're waiting for your real mirrors in the mail.

That mirror doesn't look any different than the stick on mirrors sold at most parts stores. They're ok to me. Works in a pinch so you're legal.

As others said, same mirror. Its a bit small though so I'd pick up one local and one that actually fills up the entire circle.

The problem with it is that they are really convex meaning everything is very far away, it takes a little getting used to as things are very small but could be right in line with your rear bumper.

Thanks boys..

Heard of others using Harley long stems.

Just curious to know what others are using, if any. I see there is a pile of aftermarket alternatives and some pretty creative ones some guys have made up.

I use Harley's. works great. No vibration. A bit hard to see the passenger side but that's not the one I need anyway.

I use the rugged ridge doorless mirrors. Last season I put a small convex mirror (similar to your ebay link) in the corner of them to see better. The RR's are flat so you don't see much width wise without the convex portion. I leave the brackets for the mirrors on year round.

I use 2 1/2 inch trailer mirrors on my a/c vents. Walmart for $4.99. Work pretty good. Sent using smoke signals they look just like the pick of eBay mirrors.

I did that with the autozone mirrors works well, and if I get pulled over I can flip the vent lol
