I friggin love it when somebody wakes up, shouts Eureka! and has a wee idea that makes our world just a little bit better:
RiderScan Motorcycle Scooter Blind Spot Safety Mirror | Hunter Create Ltd : HunterCreate Ltd
...only on sale in UK for now. I want one.
Good idea, only one small problem....
They don't see the sun in the UK, we do.
Need to restyle the shape or you will get sun flashes from the mirror, which makes it more dangerous than without it.

Measure your coffin. Does it measure up to your lust?

Do you remember the good old days before the internet?
when arguments were only entered into by the physically or intellectually able.
From the FAQ:
"No as the curve angle at the top is quite sharp so the reflected sun appears very small, there is much more chance you will be dazzled by the glass of your instruments or chrome in your forward line of view.
Being dazzled at night doesn't happen with RiderScan under normal road riding conditions."
Reviews I looked at on YouTube seem to back this up.
One YouTube reviewer said that it works best when you are in situations (eg heavy traffic) where shoulder glancing is less than ideal; he also said though that he wouldn't stop shoulder glancing as he didn't want to lose the habit for when he rode other motorcycles.
