I have never fugured out how to like those things, either helmet or glasses mounted. I'm not big on bar end either, but of the two it's preferable. I love my old Rhode Gear mirror which sits on the hood. I tape it in place with electrical tape, like a true fred. I would love to find a couple more at reasonable prices. Or an old hood mounted Mirricle(sp?)
