I'm using them right now. Anything above 20 mph or so the mirror shakes and you can see something behind you but can't tell what it is. They don't make any noise. And are pretty secure. I can tighten the bolt down a little more if I need to. They are great for keeping you legal but aren't great for visibility.
I hope that helps.

I had those and got rid of them. like it was said above, they shake like crazy, they look great but shake ALOT.
I got the RR quick release mirrors and they are solid and super easy to put on and off

The Olympics do shake, a lot. I stuck on a 3" convex mirror on each one so I could see my blind spots. Fortunately, the sticky adhesive pad of the convex mirrors act as a shock absorber. At any speed I can see anything in those mirrors. They suit my needs okay.

I used the safari mirrors but switched to the RRs. Much better.
Thet the safaris do work well in the lower hinge angled so you can see the rear of the rig on trails
