Hi All - one of the more mundane and perplexing aspects of my life on bents has been finding satisfactory mirrors. On my t-bone, and probably most low(ish) racers - especially USS - I've tried everything with mixed results and am now ready to try the old mirror-velcroed-ont-the-glove trick. Does anyone out there have a source for small flat mirror material (not glass) that could be cut and mounted to the back of a glove?

I would suggest you not use first surface or front surface mirror because the coating scratches too easily. The local hobby store (Hobby Lobby) sells various sizes of round glass mirrors for less than $1. You might also check an auto supply section of CrapMart for a stick on "blind spot" mirror for a car, and modify to fit your needs.
Periscope laying on it's side, use PVC pipe, mirror and clear Lexan. What about one of those British Rear View Helmets? ----------------------------------------------------- "Chris Crawford" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

I suggest taking a look at the "Take a look" eyeglass mirror, which is built with a very nice rectangular piece of mirror that I think is a plastic material with a front-side-mounted mirroring on it, resulting in a great little mirror. It is easily separatable from the eyeglass mounting and nicely priced at about $13 or so.

Go to a snowmobile accessories place. They sell glove mirrors. Dan Kluckhuhn
