I'm so used to this mirror, I never feel safe without it anymore.

3M Double sided molding tape. It sticks on for years in every condition I’ve ever thrown at it including subzero temperatures, 105°F heat, and torrential downpours. I don’t have to deal with humidity that often but I have ridden in humid conditions and it’s still stuck in place.
