Depends on the bike and its riding style from the 3 ive seen.

Never seen the point personally. Couple of little blind spot mirrors stuck on your main mirrors is just as good Thumbs Up

Personally wouldn't recommend buying 1. However I also wouldn't discourage you.
I have 1 but don't have it fitted anymore. Never really used it as you really should do your shoulder check regardless. If you feelyyou've got the spare cash to get it then go for it if you want it. But I personally wouldn't want another 1.

perfectly fine with shoulder checks plus nowhere to fit on my bike due to sat nav mount

think it's a good idea but also believe there's a chance it could make you lazy with your shoulder checks

Thanks Thumbs Up
General opinion seems to be....don't bother with one!!
They do seem expensive, but if users had said they were great, and they could help, I would have bought one.
And reading your post, there is too many negs about one.

That was for blindspot mirrors I linked as an alternative Razz Riderscans are a fair bit more, over 40 quid for most people considering fittings Thumbs Down

Motorcycle mirrors are too small for those stick-on blindspot mirrors, IMO.

You can get blindspot mirrors that clamp on to the lip of a bigger mirror, but again... not a bike mirror.

I'm still looking for an easy-fit add-on to standard bike mirrors. Sad

I see what you mean now - i agree with some of the other comments - not as good as lifesavers.
