This mirror should fit virtually on any bike due to its three degrees of freedom. Also good quality and very stable (no vibrations).

I will try some of the other suggestions on this post. Cheers!

These people should have a solution - and these mirrors are fabulous - do you have isozone bars?

I have been using these for years and would never use anything else.

Does the Cycleware Reflex mirror vibrate when you ride? How does the Cycleware Reflex mirror attach? with stick on adhesive? to the outside of the helmet? How long does it take for it to fall off? Do you then put it back on with super glue? Is it easy to remove from the helmet attachment? If you want to put it on other helmets, do you buy additional helmet attachments?

I use a Take-a-look myself. They make a small one for eyeglass mounting and one with a larger mirror and longer "boom" for helmet mounting. I've used both but usually prefer the eyeglass one, as it vibrates less and seems to give me a better field of view. They can be a pain to adjust though.
I tried a Blackburn bar-end but didn't like it. It vibrated way too much, plus if you have to lay your bike down on the left side (which you're supposed to do to protect the rd hanger and keep the drivetrain out of the dirt), it can knock the mirror out of whack.
